    Peg Leg Porker - Carey Bringle
    Mar 11 2021

    Peg Leg Porker has become a lifestyle that is built around a barbecue and bourbon brand. A Tennessee pitmaster whose passion for barbecue and entrepreneurial spirit brought him to open up shop in Nashville. Carey Bringle didn’t let his circumstances define him. After making the decision to amputate his leg during a battle with cancer, Carey later went on to become an award-winning pitmaster.

    With the help of his barbeque knowledge, he was able to make a unique bourbon. A hickory charcoal that’s a byproduct of barbecuing is used to filter the bourbon separating it from other charcoal-filtered whiskeys. 

    Since then, the line has expanded, with a new pitmaster reserve bourbon released in 2020 and more on the way. The growth all centers around the Peg Leg Porker brand that’s become a way of life, representing the relenting drive to push forward no matter how hard life gets.
