Templeton Rye 13 Year The Hidden Stash Collection Limited Release is the oldest age-stated expression Templeton Rye has produced — a 13-year straight rye whiskey from Templeton, Iowa, aged in new charred American oak and bottled at 100.1 proof (50.05% ABV) from the oldest and most character-rich barrels in the distillery's inventory.

Templeton Rye's brand traces to Carroll County, Iowa during Prohibition where a local rye recipe became famous enough to reach Al Capone's network — the brand was revived in 2006 using that historical identity as its foundation. The Hidden Stash Collection represents the longest-aged expressions. At 13 years in new charred American oak, the rye grain's spice has integrated fully with caramelized wood — the butterscotch, vanilla, and dried cherry complexity reflecting the integration that only extended maturation produces.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich caramel, aged oak, toffee, and dark fruit with tobacco and clove
• Palate: Full-bodied — butterscotch, rye spice, vanilla bean, and dried cherry
• Finish: Long and warm — lingering oak, honey, and peppered cocoa
