A Decade in Oak, One Barrel at a Time
Ten years is serious age for rye, and bottling it one barrel at a time means no two bottles are quite alike — the barrel number on the label is a promise of that. At 104 proof and non-chill filtered, this is Templeton's rye with the training wheels off: the 95% rye mash turned all the way up by a decade of new oak.

Tasting Notes
Big and spicy: rye grain and caramel up front, cinnamon, clove, and dill from the high-rye mash through the middle, a decade of oak adding vanilla, toasted wood, and a long peppery finish. Full-bodied and warming — the proof is present but integrated.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a Glencairn to taste the barrel's character, or with a few drops of water to open the spice. It makes a monumental Manhattan or old fashioned — use it when the rye should be the whole point.
