Templeton Rye 10 Year Reserve is a single barrel rye whiskey from Templeton, Iowa, aged a full decade in charred new American oak and bottled from a hand-selected barrel at 104 proof (52% ABV).
In a time when most American rye whiskey is young, Templeton takes the bold, spicy character of its high-rye recipe and gives it ten years in new charred oak. Each bottle comes from one hand-selected barrel, with extremely limited production.
The aroma brings rich chocolate and vanilla with toasted oak, green apple and apricot. The taste is smooth, dark oak with honeyed floral notes and Templeton's signature rye spice, the body silky smooth with a creamy caramel feel, and the finish clean and long-lasting with lingering butterscotch.
Made for life's special occasions, it is a fine gift for rye enthusiasts.
Enjoy it neat or with a splash of water.
