“At Templeton Distillery we’re following in the footsteps of our forefathers, crafting a whiskey in their tradition. We call it Templeton but it represents so much more than just a place: it represents our memories, our future and the whiskey way of life.” As an original American Rye, Templeton has learned that whenever you share whiskey of life. The roots of whiskey in the town of Templeton can be traced along family lines all the way back to the bootleggers of Prohibition and this rebellious and entrepreneurial mindset still holds true to this day.
