Templeton Rye Aged 4 Years 750 ml

Templeton Rye Aged 4 Years is a small-batch rye whiskey with roots in an Iowa Prohibition-era recipe reputedly favored by Al Capone, made from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Aged four years in new, charred American oak barrels and bottled at 80 proof, it leans sweeter than many high-rye whiskeys, a trait the brand attributes to its historic recipe. Expect caramel and vanilla on the nose over a spicy rye backbone, a smooth, creamy palate with cinnamon and nutmeg, and a long, warm finish with a hint of spice. A solid, slightly sweeter alternative to drier straight ryes.

How to drink Templeton Rye

It's a great Manhattan whiskey — the built-in sweetness plays especially well against sweet vermouth and bitters.
