Peg Leg Porker Tennessee Straight Bourbon is a 90-proof Tennessee whiskey finished with hickory charcoal filtration. Sourced from undisclosed distilleries, it is made with an estimated mashbill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley.
There’s some white pepper and underbrush here, along with a bit of chocolate, but none of this coalesces into anything overly memorable. It’s just too young, sometimes rather anonymous.
This was a solid sipper, though was hoping for a bit more depth to the experience. Perhaps a bit more richness or higher proof. That said, I’m pretty sure it would pair well with some Tennessee style BBQ.
