About Templeton Distillery
Templeton Distillery has earned a reputation as a leader in high-quality rye whiskey, making the residents of Templeton, Iowa during Prohibition – themselves making whiskey and hiding it in basements – quite proud. Today, Templeton rye is made a little differently. With a 95% rye / 5% malted barley mash bill, it’s aged in new American oak barrels with flavors inspired by the whiskey made by Templeton bootleggers a century ago. In the same town, with the same strong spirit.
Templeton Rye Barrel Strength 2022 expression is a natural, barrel strength, non-chill-filtered straight American rye whiskey bottled at 57.3% ABV. It is available in limited quantities in both the USA and select international markets including the EU for $59.99 (750ml).
