- The Templeton brand was launched in 2006 by Iowa-based Templeton Rye Spirits LLC.
Product description
Templeton Rye whiskey debuted in 2006 from Templeton Rye Spirits LLC based in Templeton, Iowa.
The whiskey came from MGP Ingredients in Indiana and was distilled from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Templeton Distillery began distilling in August 2018, but for the next few years the brand will be based on whiskey from Indiana (its own whiskey will not be available until 2022). Templeton Rye Oloroso Casks Finish was released in late 2021 and is the third entry in the “Barrel Finish Series.” After six years of maturation in fresh American oak barrels, the whiskey was finished for another nine months in Oloroso sherry butts. The whiskey is bottled at 46% abv and unchill-filtered.
