Templeton, Iowa is a small town with a strong spirit, full of local stories and legends that come together to create a legacy of its own. That’s the way it was in 1920s Prohibition, and it’s the very same town today – one century later. The roads have changed a little, the rules have changed a lot, but the soul remains the same. We’ve recommitted ourselves to our hometown with the opening of our distillery in 2018, creating more jobs along with the opportunity to bring more of our production in-house. And there’s nothing we love more than sharing both local legacy as well as our limited production specialties with those who appreciate a good story over good whiskey. That, after all, is what we’ve come to call our whiskey way of life.
Since 2006, Templeton Distillery has supported the American rye revolution as the choice of those who seek a quality rye whiskey, whether sipped neat or as an added kick to your favorite cocktail.
