Bottled at barrel proof, this expression is crafted from a 95% rye, 5% malted barley mash bill and matured in charred new American oak barrels at the Iowa distillery.

Once only bottling sourced whiskey, Templeton’s evolution to crafting its own distillate from grain to glass began when the distillery opened its doors nearly eight years ago. Now, that vision reaches its fruition with the first rye barrels that were laid down, now produced as this inaugural Single Barrel release.

“We’re proud to introduce Templeton Single Barrel Rye – a whiskey crafted for our fans and connoisseurs alike,” said Shane Fitzharris, Senior Vice President, Global Commercial at Infinium Spirits. “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.”

Templeton Single Barrel is now available for $49.99.

The expression is a tribute to the history of the distillery. Crafted from sourced rye distillate and drawn from Templeton’s aged barrel inventory, Templeton 13-Year-Old is made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It is matured in new American oak barrels with a heavy char and bottled at 108 proof.

“The launch of the 13-Year-Old marks a milestone in our aging program, a hidden treasure drawn from some of our finest sourced stocks,” said Shane Fitzharris, Senior Vice President, Global Commercial at Infinium Spirits. “With elevated packaging and some of the rarest, most refined whiskey we’ve released to date, this limited edition highlights Templeton’s commitment to crafting whiskeys that honor our history while reinforcing our position in the premium rye category.”

Since the opening of the Templeton Distillery in 2018, the brand has expanded beyond its flagship rye, developing a combination of sourced and in-house distillates. Recent launches such as Fortitude Bourbon underscore Templeton’s evolution into a full-fledged distiller, while Hidden Stash will highlight the oldest sourced stocks in its warehouses.

Templeton 13-Year-Old Rye Whiskey is now available $169.99.

The launch of Templeton Fortitude Bourbon marks the distillery’s pivotal evolution from independent bottler to distiller. The 92 proof non-chill filtered bourbon features a mash bill consisting of 55% corn, 40% rye, and 5% malted barley. It’s born from locally sourced corn and cultivated in collaboration with local farms within 15 miles of the distillery.

“It’s thrilling to be part of this historic moment for the Templeton Distillery and the incredible community of Templeton, Iowa,” said Shane Fitzharris, Senior Vice President of Commercial at Infinium Spirits. “We are very excited to bring our distillery’s inaugural distillate to the world and showcase the innovation and craft that we have at Templeton Distillery through this fantastic Bourbon release.”

Templeton Fortitude Bourbon’s aroma combines delicate floral and grassy notes, accompanied by hints of spice, black pepper, sweet Vanilla, and the subtle fruitiness of lemon peels. Rich, full flavors of rye and spice are harmoniously blended with butterscotch and wonderful zesty citrus, followed by an enduring warm finish of spicy oak notes and caramel popcorn.
