Templeton Distillery announced the release of the 2022 edition of its annual Barrel Strength expression. First introduced in 2018, this fourth rendition comprises the distillery’s rye barrels, which vary in ages, and a focus on flavor profile.

Previous expressions from the Templeton Rye Barrel Strength Series include a 2018, 2019 and 2020 expression. Each edition celebrates the exceptional aging casks that are currently maturing at the Templeton, Iowa distillery.

Each year, a select number of noteworthy barrels, which vary in ages and maturity, are chosen to create this whiskey’s premium barrel strength American rye whiskey. It is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

Templeton Distillery has earned a reputation as a leader in high-quality rye whiskey, making the residents of Templeton, Iowa, during Prohibition – themselves making whiskey and hiding it in basements – quite proud. Today, Templeton rye is made a little differently. With a 95% rye / 5% malted barley mash bill, it’s aged in new American oak barrels with flavors inspired by the whiskey made by Templeton bootleggers a century ago. In the same town, with the same strong spirit.

Templeton Rye Barrel Strength 2022 expression is a natural, barrel strength, non-chill-filtered straight American rye whiskey bottled at 57.3% ABV. It is available in limited quantities in both the USA and select international markets including the EUfor$59.99 (750ml).
