Details

When prohibition outlawed the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in 1920, many enterprising residents of tiny Templeton, Iowa, population 350, came together to create an American classic known as Templeton Rye Whiskey, or “The Good Stuff” to those in the know.

Over the course of its storied history, Templeton Rye became Al Capone’s whiskey of choice, quickly finding its way to the center of his bootlegging empire. Speakeasies in Chicago, New York and as far west as San Francisco poured Templeton Rye as the “Best Whiskey in the House”. Later legends suggest that a few bottles even found their way inside the walls of Alcatraz to the cell of prisoner AZ-85.

Available legally for the first time, the infamous small batch rye whiskey returns. Aged in charred new oak barrels and based on the original Prohibition Era recipe, Templeton Rye provides a smooth finish and a clean getaway.

Facility tours are held twice daily, Monday through Friday at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. These typically last around 30 minutes and include a guided walk through our production area, barrel warehouse, bottling line and tasting room. Some lucky guests may even have the opportunity to sit down with the Templeton team and help label a few bottles of The Good Stuff.
