The story of Templeton Rye is steeped in American history, dating back to the Prohibition era when enterprising residents of Templeton, Iowa, began distilling a much sought-after rye whiskey. This high-quality spirit, affectionately known as "The Good Stuff," was famously Al Capone's drink of choice and became legendary in speakeasies across the Midwest. Revived legally in 2006, the Templeton brand continues to honor this rebellious and entrepreneurial spirit. While originally sourcing their whiskey, Templeton opened its own state-of-the-art distillery in Iowa in 2018, bringing the entire process home and securing the future of this iconic American rye.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: Is the whiskey inside different from the standard Templeton 4 Year Rye?
A: The whiskey inside is the classic Templeton 4 Year Rye. The "Limited Edition" aspect refers to the collectible bottle, which features the commemorative San Diego Padres branding.
Q: What is a "high-rye" whiskey?
A: For a rye whiskey to be legally called such in the US, its mash bill must contain at least 51% rye grain. At 95% rye, Templeton is considered a "high-rye" rye whiskey, which typically imparts a bold, spicy, and less sweet flavor profile compared to bourbons or ryes with lower rye content.
Q: Is Templeton Rye actually made in Iowa?
A: Yes. While for many years Templeton sourced their rye whiskey from Indiana, they opened their own state-of-the-art distillery in Templeton, Iowa, in 2018. They are now distilling and aging their own product on-site, carrying on the town's historic legacy.
Q: How should I enjoy this rye whiskey?
A: Its smooth 80-proof profile makes it very versatile. It's great for sipping neat or on the rocks. It also truly shines in classic cocktails like a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or a simple Rye & Ginger, where its spicy character can complement other ingredients beautifully.
Q: Where can I purchase the Templeton Rye Padres Edition?
A: This is a limited, often seasonal release. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their inventory and availability, especially during baseball season.
