Product description
Templeton Rye Tequila Casks Finish is a bold interpretation of classic American rye whiskey, enhanced with a tequila barrel finish. This stage of maturation gives the liquor a whole new dimension - it combines the typical spiciness and structure of rye with notes of fresh citrus, herbs and subtle vegetation, characteristic of agave.
The base is classic Templeton Rye - a whiskey created on a mash with a high rye content, matured in new, heavily fired American oak barrels. Then a portion of the batch goes into tequila barrels, where it acquires additional depth and aromatic freshness for a limited period of time. The result is a beverage with a complex but harmonious profile that stands out from traditional rye whiskies.
Bottled at 46% strength, without excessive character reduction, Templeton Rye Tequila Casks Finish retains intensity and clear structure. This is for those looking for a whiskey with a modern twist, which will work well both in solo tasting and in creative cocktails - especially where classic rye is combined with a hint of freshness and spice.
