A Pitmaster's Whiskey

Patience, smoke, and a little Tennessee soul.

In 2013, championship pitmaster Carey Bringle did what every great barbecue man eventually does — he poured himself a stiff bourbon and decided he could make a better one.

More than a decade later, Peg Leg Porker stands among the most awarded small-batch bourbons in the South. Every drop carries the patience of low-and-slow smoke and the heart of a Nashville original who's spent his whole life turning fire into flavor.

It's been great having the bourbon company, because barbecue and bourbon have always gone hand in hand.
