Rye Releases 2019 Edition
Barrel Strength Straight Rye Whiskey

Templeton
Rye Whiskey releases the 2019 edition of their exclusive Barrel
Strength Straight Rye Whiskey. First introduced last year, this
year's release celebrates the exceptional aging casks that are
currently maturing at the Templeton, Iowa distillery. Each year,
a select number of noteworthy barrels, which vary in ages and
maturity, are chosen to create this remarkable, super premium
barrel strength American rye whiskey. The whiskeys are then
skillfully married or vatted together and bottled at 115.8 proof
to deliver an exquisite, natural, non-chill filtered whiskey
comprising of aromas of dark fruit and toasted almonds.
In
the same vein as the successful 2018 edition, which received
a 90-point rating fromWhisky Advocate, this year's special release
is beautifully influenced by flame-charred American oak barrels.
The whiskey is sourced from Indiana (Midwest Grain Processors)
with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. The spirit
is bottled at the Templeton distillery at 57.9% ABV, a higher
percentage than the 2018 edition. The result is a whiskey with
rich, peppery notes that dovetail marvelously, fading into sweet
floral tones and classic rye pepper that deepens into a long,
spicy finish.
"We
were inspired by the wonderful reception that the 2018 Barrel
Strength release received and are excited to share this new
bottling with our fans that we feel is both complex and intriguing,"
said Tim Grimes, Brand Ambassador of Templeton Rye. "Our
Barrel Strength line represents our beloved whiskey in its purest
form while allowing us to salute the hometown of Templeton and
our residents' strong spirit."
The 2019 Templeton Rye Barrel Strength Straight Rye Whiskey
is now available in limited quantities in the U.S. at a suggested
retail price of $59.99 for a 750ml bottle as well as in select
international markets, including the E.U. for the very first
time. It is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.
