Rye whiskey drinkers know all about Templeton Distillery. Located in Templeton, Iowa, the distillery is well-known for its 4-Year-Old, 6-Year-Old, and limited-release rye whiskeys (as well as bourbons). Recently, the brand added a new flagship rye whiskey called Templeton Straight Rye Whiskey to its list of expressions.

The brand is releasing Templeton Straight Rye Whiskey nationwide. It was crafted to pay tribute to the pre-prohibition era when the distillery was first founded. This complex, sipping whiskey was made with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It was matured for at least four years in first-fill American oak barrels. It’s bottled at 90-proof and non-chill filtered.

The result is a memorable whiskey that begins with a nose of pineapple, oak, vanilla, and wintry spices. The palate is a mix of dried cherries, honey, bitter dark chocolate, and spicy, peppery rye. The finish is warming and loaded with spices like cracked black pepper and cinnamon candy.

“As we continue to evolve from an independent bottler to a distiller, our robust innovation pipeline will ensure we continue to meet the evolving tastes of our consumers,” Lester Brown, Head Distiller at Templeton Distillery, said in a press release. “This bold and complex expression reflects our dedication to crafting full-flavored, high-quality rye whiskey, inspired by our storied history in rye whiskey making and fit for today’s whiskey lover. We’re thrilled to invite both longtime fans and newcomers to experience this newest expression of Templeton.”

Pennsylvania Rye Distillery Stoll & Wolfe is releasing a new Heritage Rosen Rye
Stoll & Wolfe is on a mission to return Pennsylvania rye to the prominence it deserves
Whiskey in a glass

Opened in 2016, Stoll & Wolfe is on a mission to return Pennsylvania rye whiskey to its deserved prominence. Specifically, co-founders Erik and Avianna Wolfe worked with historic Pennsylvania Michter’s Distillery master distiller Dick Stoll to make a return to whiskeys using the Rosen Rye grain type.

For those unaware, Rosen Rye was developed in the early 1900s and was a popular choice for rye whiskey distillers in the early 20th century. Over the years, however, the grain lost its popularity and was all but forgotten. Stoll & Wolfe intends to bring it back.
