Templeton Rolls Out New Straight Rye Whiskey
Templeton American Whiskey unveiled the latest addition to its award-winning portfolio, Templeton Straight Rye Whiskey, now rolling out nationwide.
This expression honors the brand’s Prohibition roots, aged in brand new charred oak barrels. With a “straight” whiskey designation and higher proof, this next generation of Templeton’s signature whiskey is tailored for craft cocktails and whiskey enthusiasts alike.
At 90 proof and a mash bill that consists of 95% Rye and 5% Malted Barley, Templeton Straight Rye Whiskey is selected from sourced rye whiskey inventory then aged for a minimum of 4 years in first-fill American oak barrels and bottled at the Templeton Distillery in Templeton, Iowa.
“As we continue to evolve from an independent bottler to a distiller, our robust innovation pipeline will ensure we continue to meet the evolving tastes of our consumers,” Lester Brown, Head Distiller at Templeton Distillery, said in a news release. “This bold and complex expression reflects our dedication to crafting full-flavored, high quality rye whiskey, inspired by our storied history in rye whiskey making and fit for today’s whiskey lover. We’re thrilled to invite both longtime fans and newcomers to experience this newest expression of Templeton.”
Templeton’s new flagship whiskey (MSRP $29.99) brings a fresh look to the brand’s portfolio with a beautiful package that is sure to pop on the shelf, whether at your home bar, liquor store, or on the backbar at your favorite spot.
