Templeton Rye 6 Year Old

Produced by Templeton Whiskey, Templeton 6 Year Rye is an American rye whiskey distilled in Indiana and aged in Templeton, Iowa. Made from a high-rye mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, it spends more than six years maturing in charred new American oak barrels. Bottled at 45.75% ABV (91.5 proof), it delivers the bold spice expected from rye alongside orchard fruit, butterscotch, vanilla and toasted oak.

Food Pairing: Barbecue beef, smoked pork, aged cheddar, apple pie, toasted nuts, or dark chocolate with caramel.

Tasting Notes: Bold and well-balanced, combining lively rye spice and toasted oak with orchard fruit, butterscotch, vanilla and subtle dried-fruit sweetness.

Nose: Floral and spicy, with butterscotch and vanilla accompanied by cherry, green apple and dry rye spice.

Palate: Smooth yet vibrant, developing fresh fruit and toasted oak alongside caramel-like sweetness and assertive rye spice.

Finish: Long and lingering, with warming rye spice, toasted oak and gentle sweetness gradually fading on the palate.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature or with a small splash of water; its high-rye character also works particularly well in classic whiskey cocktails such as a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
