Bourbon Competition Winner: Peg Leg Porker’s Triumph
The Rise of Peg Leg Porker
Peg Leg Porker Carey Bringle has made history as the first Pitmaster in the United States to create a bourbon brand. Since 2014, his Tennessee Straight Bourbon has consistently received accolades from world spirits competitions. Most recently, Peg Leg Porker’s Tennessee Straight Bourbon White Label Whiskey, aged between 4-6 years, was crowned “World’s Best Bourbon” by the Tasting Alliance.
A World-Class Victory
In a thrilling bracket-style tournament against other “Best In Class” winners of the New York, San Francisco, and Singapore World Spirits Competitions, Peg Leg Porker emerged victorious. The 2023 Tasting Alliance World Championship recognized Peg Leg Porker’s unique blending and exceptional quality within the competitive global spirits landscape.
Triple Still Award Honors
Peg Leg Porker previously won the Tasting Alliance’s Triple Still Award. This honor celebrates the bourbon’s Double Gold accolades in the New York, San Francisco, and Singapore World Spirits Competitions. Peg Leg Porker is one of only three Triple Still winners in the United States.
Pride in Affordable Excellence
“We’re humbled that our forty-dollar White Label was recognized by the Tasting Alliance as the world’s best bourbon, proving that you don’t need to spend hundreds on great bourbon,” said Bringle. He expressed his gratitude for the prestigious honor and his excitement to share it with Nashville’s local bourbon enthusiast community in their new blending and bottling facility and tasting room, opening this spring.
Global Recognition for Quality
Peg Leg Porker’s success at some of the world’s top spirits competitions is particularly noteworthy given the record-breaking entries from all over the world in 2023. Bringle is proud of his bourbon’s recognition for its rich, smoky notes and its ability to uphold the highest standards among the most respected opinions and influencers in the industry.
A Storied Career in Spirits and BBQ
Bringle’s accomplishments extend beyond the spirits industry. He is also the proprietor of the highly regarded Peg Leg Porker restaurant, earning the title of Best BBQ in Tennessee six times in the last eleven years from Southern Living Magazine. The “World’s Best Bourbon” award is a fitting addition to his storied career, combining his passion for barbecue with an unparalleled expertise in whiskey-making.
Celebrating American Craftsmanship
Peg Leg Porker Bourbon’s victory at the Global Spirits Championship is not just a win for the brand; it’s a celebration of American craftsmanship and innovation. It invites spirit enthusiasts and culinary aficionados to discover a bourbon that embodies the essence of Tennessee BBQ and the resilience of the human spirit.
