TEMPLETON Bourbon Fortitude

Be a part of a historic moment and step into the remarkable legacy of Templeton Distillery with the unveiling of our inaugural masterpiece – the Inaugural Whiskey. Crafted with unyielding determination and FORTITUDE, our Straight Bourbon pays homage to the strength of spirit of the 352 residents of Templeton, Iowa. Nestled in the shadows of Templeton Distillery, this whiskey is a testament to their strength and fortitude. Rooted in a commitment to history and heritage, our relentless pursuit of excellence is evident in every drop of our distillate. Embracing our Iowa roots, Templeton Bourbon is born from locally sourced corn, meticulously cultivated in collaboration with local farms within 15 miles of our distillery. Our Mash Bill, an artful blend of 55% Corn, 40% Rye, and 5% Malted Barley, gives rise to a straight Bourbon that is distinctly Templeton – rich, complex, and brimming with character. Patience is a cornerstone of our craft, and it is reflected in the aging process. Each batch gracefully rests and matures in flame-charred American Oak barrels, narrating a story of time, dedication, and the artistry of our distillery team. Our bourbon, a natural hue and non-chill filtered, preserves the depth and intensity of flavors that define its exceptional character. Each sip encapsulates the essence of Templeton's unwavering dedication to authenticity. Balancing boldness with approachability, our Inaugural American Bourbon is bottled at 92 proof. This is a whiskey that demands attention, sip after sip – a true masterpiece capturing the heart and soul of Templeton Distillery. This Inaugural distillate out of Templeton Distillery is more than a whiskey; it is a piece of history in every bottle.
