One for the special occasions.

Back in 2001, Scott Bush and Meryl Kerkhoff formed a partnership to bring back the “Templeton Rye” brand back to market. Back in the dark days of Prohibition a group of farmers met secretly in the little town of Templeton, Iowa — becoming bootleggers to supplement their incomes. This was the first Templeton Rye Whiskey. It is said that it was Al Capone’s favorite hooch, who called it “The Good Stuff.” The end of Prohibition and an economic recovery put an end to the original Templeton Rye, and the new version is a tribute to it.

Bottled from a hand-picked single barrel, Templeton 10 Year Old Reserve Rye Whiskey was aged for 10 years in charred new American oak. The production is extremely limited, which is good news for those of you who like getting your hands on the rare stuff. Smooth with dark oak, honeyed floral notes, and signature rye spice, this is a delicacy that’s well worth a place in your collection.
