Peg Leg Porker Spirit of America is a Tennessee straight bourbon whiskey bottled at 100 proof, commemorating America's 250th Birthday with bold smoky character enhanced by hickory charcoal filtering. Hand-selected by Pitmaster Carey Bringle and aged a minimum of four years, this limited edition bourbon delivers the authentic Tennessee whiskey experience with distinctive barbecue pit master expertise guiding every barrel selection.
