Producer Information: Templeton Rye Spirits

Templeton Rye Spirits traces its roots to Templeton, Iowa, where the brand draws inspiration from the town’s Prohibition-era rye whiskey tradition. Founded in 2006, Templeton Rye Spirits revived a local legacy by crafting rye whiskey that echoes recipes once favored by Midwest bootleggers. Their production style emphasizes small-batch distillation and aging in charred new American oak barrels, capturing the distinctive spicy character associated with Iowa-grown rye grain. While their primary focus remains on rye whiskey, they have also expanded into limited releases and special barrel finishes that highlight their expertise in American whiskey craftsmanship. The company’s commitment to sourcing local ingredients and maintaining a strong connection to Iowa’s agricultural heritage sets them apart within the Midwest spirits category.
