Templeton Rye Whiskey is a modern revival of a historic American spirit, inspired by the legendary “Prohibition-era recipe” that earned Templeton, Iowa, the nickname “The Good Stuff.” During the 1920s, when Prohibition gripped the United States, Templeton became known for producing rye whiskey that was secretly enjoyed across the country, even rumored to have been favored by infamous figures like Al Capone. Today, Templeton Rye pays tribute to that heritage while embracing the standards of contemporary whiskey-making.

Crafted with a mash bill that emphasizes rye grain, Templeton delivers the spicy, bold character that defines true rye whiskey. Aged in new American oak barrels, the spirit develops additional layers of caramel, vanilla, and oak structure, complementing the rye’s natural peppery intensity. Bottled at 80 proof, the flagship Templeton Rye is approachable yet full of personality, making it both versatile in cocktails and enjoyable neat or on the rocks.

Beyond the whiskey itself, Templeton stands for authenticity and community. The distillery in Templeton, Iowa, operates as both a state-of-the-art production facility and a museum of rye history, preserving the town’s legacy while continuing to expand the brand’s reach worldwide. Its portfolio has grown to include longer-aged expressions, but the original Templeton Rye remains the foundation, introducing drinkers to a style that is distinctly American.

Presented in a clean, modern bottle that nods to its heritage, Templeton Rye Whiskey embodies both tradition and progress. It offers enthusiasts a chance to connect with one of America’s most storied whiskey traditions, brought forward into the modern era with consistency, balance, and respect for history.
