Barrel to plate: Tempelton Rye infuses pork with Prohibition-style whiskey

Woodward, IA –  Pork and whiskey are two things that usually pair nicely, but combining the two in a single cut of meat can be a hog-heavenly match.

Templeton Rye Whiskey's Heritage Pork Project is trying to produce pigs that taste like the old fashion whiskey.

Scott Bush and Keith Kerkhoff, co-founders of Templeton Rye Whiskey in Iowa, famous for their rye whiskey made with the same recipe their grandpas used to make as bootleggers, came up with the concept of infusing pigs with the taste of whiskey late last year.

"Here's a crazy idea, let's get a bunch of pigs and feed them our spent mash and see what happens," said Bush.

What happens is pork that should have the same sweet, rich flavors of the whiskey.   The experiment so far involves 25 Duroc heritage pigs that were born in January and won't be ready for processing until June or July.

About a fifth of the pigs diet is made up of the spent Templeton mash.  The rest is high-quality traditional pig feed.

 

 

Might just be good?

Oh heck yes!! That sounds like a great experiment. Two great tastes that go great together, and with mashed potatoes.
