Templeton Straight Rye Whiskey 90 Proof (1L) *

Straight rye whiskey from Iowa, Templeton Rye is built on a high-rye mash bill and aged in new charred oak barrels. The spirit carries the producer's name from the small town where it's based, and it occupies a middle ground between spice-forward rye character and the sweeter notes that come from careful barrel maturation.

On the palate, expect classic rye spice alongside caramel and vanilla from the oak, with a dry, peppery finish. This works equally well as a cocktail rye (particularly in Manhattans and Old Fashioneds) or as a neat pour for those who want rye's signature bite without extreme intensity.
