Detailed Description
A good choice for cocktails, Templeton Rye is a bold, spicy expression which is distilled in Indiana. Just packed with classic rye notes, along with sweet toffee touches bringing balance to the robust spirit. The master distiller of Templeton Rye utilizes the original Prohibition-era recipe formed by the Kerkhoff family – unique for the remarkably high rye content of its mash. By law, a Whiskey must be 51% Rye to be classified as a Rye Whiskey, but Templeton uses a mash of more than 90 percent rye grains, with malted barley for the remainder. Every bottle has the batch, barrel, bottle number and bottling date hand-written on the label.
