Templeton Rye 4 Year Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold American rye crafted in Templeton, Iowa, honoring a heritage that stretches back to Prohibition, when “Templeton Rye” was the whiskey of choice for bootleggers and gangsters alike. Made from a high rye mash bill and aged a minimum of four years in charred new American oak barrels, it reflects both tradition and craftsmanship in every drop.

In the glass, it shows a rich amber color. The aroma opens with inviting notes of butterscotch, vanilla, and toasted oak, layered with spice and dried fruit. On the palate, it delivers the signature rye character—warm, peppery spice balanced by caramel, toffee, and hints of green apple and baking spices. The oak influence adds structure and depth, while the mouthfeel remains smooth and approachable. Its finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of rye spice, vanilla, and a gentle sweetness.

This whiskey is versatile, equally at home enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or over ice. It also performs beautifully in cocktails, lending rich depth and spice to classics like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. For pairings, Templeton Rye complements smoked meats, barbecue, sharp cheeses, and even dark chocolate desserts. Rooted in history and perfected with age, Templeton Rye 4 Year is a proud expression of America’s rye whiskey tradition, carrying both character and authenticity in every sip.
