Whiskey Barrel Smoked Black Pepper is one of our all-time favorite seasonings. These cracked peppercorns become smoked peppercorns after being slow smoked with oak staves from whiskey barrels.

Use smoked black pepper seasoning for your meats on the grill when you're looking for that classic slow-smoked, charcoal BBQ flavor. If you're a bourbon smoked pepper fan, you're gonna love it.
