Templeton Distillery launched the 2022 Stout Cask Finish expression from their Barrel Finish Series. This Imperial Stout Cask Finish is the fourth expression in Templeton’s Barrel Finish Series, a limited-edition release sold on allocation and not to be missed.

First introduced in 2019, the Barrel Finish Series focuses on utilizing unusual wood treatments and sourcing unconventional flavors to elevate each expression. This year’s release concentrates on providing a flavor profile of coffee and chocolate, adding depth and complexity to Templeton’s portfolio. Originally matured for six years in American oak flame-charred barrels, the Stout Cask Finish is expertly finished in bourbon barrel-aged chocolate coffee stout casks for three months.

Previous expressions from the Templeton Rye Barrel Cask Finish Series include the Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish (2021), the Caribbean Rum Cask Finish (2020), and the Maple Cask Finish Series (2019). Each edition offers a unique twist on what rye can be and continues to position Templeton Distillery as a pioneer of innovation in the industry.

Templeton Distillery opened in 2018 in Templeton, Iowa, where bootlegging was prevalent during Prohibition. 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.

All Templeton Rye products currently available for sale has been distilled and aged in Indiana, with blending and bottling taking place at the Templeton Distillery. Templeton Rye has three core expressions: 4 Year and 6 Year, which have received a Gold and a Double Gold medal, respectively, at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, along with the new 10 Year Reserve, which also received the Double Gold.

Stout Cask Finish is available in limited quantities in both the USA and select international markets, including the EU, for $54.99 US. 46% ABV.
