Straight from the still

Dear friends,

Greetings from Templeton. It is a very exciting time here at the distillery as we have finally reached a date we have been looking forward to for a long time. We called it "Whiskey Birthday" in our calendar and it was the date that our Batch 4 turned four years old. Batch 4 is our first product from when we started to scale up production four long years ago. Our volume is still a pittance in the grand whiskey world but it is a nice step forward for us that we will continue to build on for the next several years.

In our last newsletter we asked if anyone was interested in helping us bottle Batch 4 and to our amazement we had over 150 people sign-up to work in conjunction with our existing team. Our first bottling was yesterday, and our volunteers did a great job. In fact, we shattered our previous record. We worked hard and had a fun day. Thank you all for your interest and help! We still have some slots available for next week, Nov 29-Dec 3. If you are interested in helping out please send us an email at info@templetonrye.com.

We are looking forward to having product delivered to the State of Iowa and available for order on Monday, December 6th and at stores later that week. We will also be resupplying Illinois and entering San Francisco and New York on a very limited basis.

We are also excited about the Templeton Rye Mobile Speakeasy Tour December 8th-17th. Our team will be driving all around the State of Iowa with our new mobile speakeasy and doing events at various bars and restaurants. Please watch our Facebook Page for more details.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Cheers,
Scott Bush, President, Templeton Rye

Templeton Rye on The Today Show

Our team was in New York a couple of weeks ago for Whiskeyfest at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. The Templeton Rye team went in a few days beforehand and we were joined by my mom Linda, her three sisters Cathy, Marg and Lisa, and my grandma Mary. At dinner one evening Keith was doing his shtick and offered the ladies $500 if they would get up early and get a Templeton Rye sign on the Today Show.

The lesson is: Do not test the will of a bunch of farmer's daughters. See a still frame of the video below!
