The story behind it

The maker

Templeton Rye was inspired by the legendary bootleg whiskey produced in the small town of Templeton, Iowa, during Prohibition. The modern brand was founded in 2006 to bring this historic, high-rye American tradition back to life for modern spirits lovers.

How it is made

Crafted at the Templeton Distillery in Iowa, this expression builds on the region's storied history of bootlegging and rye whiskey production. The liquid is aged in charred new American oak barrels before being carefully finished with a touch of port wine.
