Bio
Templeton American Whiskey is built on a historic legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and bold flavor. Born in the small town of Templeton, Iowa, our whiskey traces its roots back to the Prohibition era, when local bootleggers perfected a rye whiskey that became legendary. Today, we carry that tradition forward, crafting high-quality American whiskey that embodies perseverance, authenticity, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. With our new distillery in our small hometown, we are continuously refining our craft—melding the skills and time-honored techniques of our local community with modern innovation and state-of-the-art production. As we continue to evolve from independent bottler to full-scale distiller, our focus is on expanding production, maintaining consistency with our popular legacy offerings, enhancing sustainability efforts, and introducing innovative new expressions. Our portfolio includes award-winning expressions such as Templeton Rye 6 Year, Templeton Rye 10 Year, Templeton Midnight Rye, and Templeton Straight Rye, as well as our first distillate release, Templeton FORTITUDE Bourbon. Every bottle is a testament to the strength of community and masterful blending that define Templeton Whiskey. More than just a drink, Templeton Whiskey is a symbol of our legacy—crafted for those who appreciate real moments, real character, and real whiskey. With new releases on the horizon, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of American whiskey-making while honoring our town’s history and the bold spirit that started it all.
