Raising a Glass to 250 Years: A New Bourbon for a New Era
As the United States gears up to honor its 250th year of independence, Peg Leg Porker Spirits is proud to announce the launch of a special bourbon that encapsulates the spirit of America. With a heritage deeply rooted in resilience and craftsmanship, the
Spirit of America™ is a Bottled-in-Bond bourbon crafted specifically for this historic milestone.
A Legacy of Resilience
The story of Peg Leg Porker is as inspiring as the bourbon itself. Founded by Carey Bringle, an award-winning pitmaster, the brand symbolizes tenacity; after losing his leg to cancer at a young age, Bringle transformed adversity into a celebration of life and tradition in the world of barbecue. His journey not only led him to create a renowned BBQ brand but also one of the most noteworthy bourbon labels in the market today.
The Spirit of America – What Sets It Apart
The
Spirit of America™ is not just a bourbon; it represents unity and strength. Carrying the prestigious
Bottled-in-Bond classification, this bourbon ensures quality and authenticity. To earn this classification, it must be:
- - Produced by a single distiller
- - From one distilling season
- - Aged for a minimum of four years
- - Stored in a federally bonded warehouse
- - Bottled at exactly 100 proof
This results in a whiskey that is both bold and balanced, with a signature smoky character derived from being filtered through hickory charcoal, staying true to the Peg Leg Porker brand's roots.
Celebrating American Traditions
Barbecue and bourbon have been a staple in Bringle's family for generations, with their roots stretching back to 1727. This familial culture of hospitality and culinary craftsmanship significantly shapes the identity of Peg Leg Porker today. The traditions of gathering around food and drink form the essence of this limited edition release, capturing 250 years of American values.
A Toast to Community and Service
In line with American traditions of service, Peg Leg Porker will share a portion of the proceeds from
Spirit of America™ to support local non-profits such as the Hearty Hog's Veteran BBQ Camp. This initiative plays a crucial role in teaching military veterans the art of barbecue, providing them with the skills to rebuild their sense of community and purpose post-service.
A New Summer Tradition
The introduction of the
Spirit of America™ bourbon is just the beginning. Carey Bringle expresses his vision, saying, “This isn’t just a one-time release; we are starting a tradition of honoring the American spirit every summer with a new release. Let us raise our glasses in celebration of what it means to be American.”
Availability
The
Spirit of America™ Limited Edition Summer Series – America 250 Bourbon is set at a suggested retail price of $59.99. The bourbon is available in select states and expanded shipping options ensure accessibility across the country and into the United Kingdom.

As the nation prepares for gatherings, barbecues, and memorable celebrations of independence, Peg Leg Porker invites everyone to participate in a national toast. Whether at home or at restaurants and bars, let’s unite to honor the resilience and community that define our great country.
