Rye whiskey drinkers know all about the appeal of Templeton. But until recently, all the whiskey from this Iowa-based brand was produced in Indiana. In 2018, the Templeton Distillery opened in Iowa and for the first time the brand is announcing a rye whiskey made entirely in the Hawkeye State.
Templeton Single Barrel Rye

This barrel proof whiskey is made with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley before being matured in new, charred American oak barrels. This limited-edition expression was distilled, matured, and bottled in Iowa at the Templeton Distillery.
According to Templeton, this new release features flavors like baking spices, oak, and caramel. The finish is long, indulgent, lingering, and ends with a mix of sweetness and spice. Fans of well-made rye whiskeys will want to sip this expression neat, with a splash or water, or mixed into a whiskey-based cocktail.
“We’re proud to introduce Templeton Single Barrel Rye – a whiskey crafted for our fans and connoisseurs alike,” Shane Fitzharris, Senior Vice President, Global Commercial at Infinium Spirits says.
“This release embodies our spirit of innovation while honoring our rich heritage, setting a new benchmark for excellence in American whiskey. Every pour offers a rare and remarkable expression of character and craft – no two barrels alike, each with its own distinct personality and complexity.”
