Product description
Templeton Rye whiskey debuted in 2006 advertised as a “Made in Iowa” spirit with roots dating back to the inglorious Prohibition era.
Meanwhile, the whiskey came from the MGP distillery in Indiana, and was only processed and bottled in Iowa. The case ended in court with a settlement and a commitment to compensate consumers for the purchased Templeton whiskey. Subsequent editions included the statement on the counter-label "Distilled in Indiana". In 2021, the rights to the brand were acquired by Infinium Spirits, which almost immediately changed the presentation of the whiskey (new bottle and label designs). Templeton Rye 10 years old debuted in late 2016 on the occasion of the brand's tenth anniversary. The whiskey comes from MGP Indiana (in September 2021, the distillery changed its name to Ross & Squibb) and is distilled from a mash consisting of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, and was aged in barrel no. 3575.
