Detailed Description
Templeton has released just 6,080 bottles of this 101-proof spirit, made from 34 barrels, all packaged in a hand-numbered bottle and sold in a commemorative box. The label of this Special Reserve features the train that runs through the town of Templeton, Iowa. During Prohibition, enterprising local residents became outlaws, the company says, producing a whiskey known locally as “The Good Stuff,” or Templeton Rye. They smuggled the product aboard livestock trains bound for Chicago and mafia head Al Capone, who reportedly considered The Good Stuff his favorite drink.
