"When Prohibition outlawed the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in 1920, many enterprising residents of Templeton Iowa came together to create an American Classic known as Templeton Rye, or ""The Good Stuff"" to those in the know. While some rye whiskies only meet the minimum requirements of a 51% rye mash, Templeton Rye is made from a whiskey mash of more than 90% rye. This bold beginning-followed by a minimum four-year long aging process in new charred white-oak barrels- produces the great rye character and wonderfully smooth finish that combined make Templeton Rye ideal for mixing rye-based cocktails or enjoying neat. Accolades include: two Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, ""Rye Whiskey of the Year"" in Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible and ""Best of Whiskey"" at the Los Angeles Wine & Spirits Competition.
