Peg Leg Porker 12 Year Tennessee Straight Bourbon

Seems like every other person I talk to returning from Vegas mentions Peg Leg Porker with a fond recent, but somewhat cloudy memory. Imagine that. I decided to head down to the local cigar bar and waterhole and order up one of these, not sure how they got it as I've been told it's out of stock for some time now. Right off the top this is some Dickel juice. It has that distinct nose note of vitamins(iron) that all Dickel juice seems to have. It seems a little warmer and sweeter than some of the aged BiB Dickel releases, and yes a little smokey too, not sure if this is "real" smoke or the liquid kind added, (If I have a headache in an hour I'll know). I like this finish, it takes that big pronounced corn sweetness and mellows it a bit and also rounds it out with some barrel sugars, maples and such, almost a cured sugar ham sweet note, which might have been the plan all along given the name. It's a pretty good rendition of Dickel whiskey and if you like said product, esp the 12ish year releases seen of late, you'll probably like this too. Cheers!

Love how Smokey this bourbon is. It different. Great alternative to a peat scotch

Smoke on smoke.

Lots of smoke
