Templeton Strout Cask Finish Limited Release Rye 750 ml

Templeton Stout Cask Finish is a limited-release rye whiskey from Templeton Rye, aged at least six years in barrels that previously held Templeton Rye itself for two to four years, then finished in Kentucky and Indiana bourbon casks before bottling at a stronger 90 proof. That layered cask history — rye barrels followed by bourbon casks — is meant to draw out additional spice and nuttiness from the rye base rather than simply adding wood influence. Expect complex notes of spice, toasted nuts, and dried fruit with a hint of smokiness, finishing smooth, creamy, and long with lingering spice. It's a bottle for rye drinkers who like a heavier cask-finished style.

How to drink Templeton Stout Cask Finish Rye

Neat is the way to taste the layered cask influence this whiskey is built around. It also holds up well in a spicier-than-usual Manhattan if you'd rather mix it.
