This is Peg Leg Porker’s entry-level bottling, which carries no age statement. It’s a basic bourbon, light in color and almost transparent around the edges. The nose exudes notes of bacon fat, wet earth, and an indistinct greenness, leading to a palate that’s fairly thin and not overly inspiring, to be frank. The body leans heavily on the barrel, with some savory, herbal notes in the mix. Hints of baking spice lead to some sweeter elements, and the finish lingers on nutmeg and clove elements. There’s some white pepper and underbrush here, along with a bit of chocolate, but none of this coalesces into anything overly memorable. It’s just too young, sometimes rather anonymous.
