Templeton Whiskey was founded to honor the entrepreneurial spirit of the small town of Templeton, Iowa, which gained notoriety during Prohibition for its high-quality rye. In 2018, the brand opened a modern distillery and rickhouse complex in Iowa, realizing their long-held dream of distilling their own signature spirits.
Distilled, aged, and bottled at Templeton's purpose-built distillery in Iowa, this release marks the brand's shift from sourcing to fully in-house production. The expression highlights Iowa's high-quality corn and the region's distinct seasonal temperature swings during barrel maturation.
