Templeton 6 Year Old Rye
Templeton 6 Year Old Rye is a premium, small-batch rye whiskey aged for six years in new charred American oak barrels. It is marketed as a smoother, more mature, and complex version of the company's flagship 4-year-old rye, offering a robust profile with strong spice notes, caramel, and dried fruit. While rooted in a "bootlegging" history from Iowa, the whiskey is actually distilled in Indiana by MGP Ingredients and bottled at 45.75% ABV (91.5 proof).
