Templeton Fortitude Bourbon

A massive milestone for the historic Templeton brand! Fortitude marks the very first straight bourbon whiskey to be completely distilled and aged onsite at their state-of-the-art facility in Templeton, Iowa. Crafted from a unique high-rye mash bill of 55% locally sourced corn, 40% rye, and 5% malted barley, it is bottled without chill-filtration at 92 proof (46% ABV). It delivers a beautifully complex flavor profile that perfectly balances the sweet, comforting notes of a classic bourbon with the bright, peppery spice of a robust rye.

NOSE

Inviting aromas of sweet honeycomb, warm vanilla bean, toasted oak, and a distinct, peppery rye spice.

PALATE

Smooth, rich, and highly balanced. Lush flavors of caramel, butterscotch, and honey are beautifully contrasted by zesty citrus peel, cinnamon, and black pepper.

FINISH

Long, warm, and exceptionally satisfying, leaving a lingering trail of sweet oak and baking spice.
