Templeton Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey
Out of stock
Each year, a limited number of Templeton's finest barrels are selected from the aging stocks of straight rye whiskey. These barrels are then carefully vatted together, creating a barrel strength whiskey that showcases the Templeton rye expression in its purest form. Each barrel chosen has a 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill, and will vary in age to deliver a unique annual release. The 2020 Barrel Strength delivers aromas of ripe apples and oak with delicate hints of spiced orange and dried apricot.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm bronzed glow.
Nose
Ripe apples mingle with sturdy oak, while delicate whispers of spiced orange and dried apricot brighten the nose, revealing the concentrated elegance of Templeton’s barrel-strength rye.
Palate
Powerful, mouth-coating rye carries bold spice—black pepper and cinnamon—paired with a ripe core of apple and orange zest and hints of dried apricot. The barrel-strength warmth remains integrated, yielding a thick, velvety texture that leans into toasted oak. Finishes long, spicy, and fruit-driven, with a lingering apricot note.
Finish
Long, warming finish with barrel-strength rye spice meshing with toasted oak. Ripe apple sweetness lingers, while delicate notes of spiced orange and dried apricot drift through the finish, leaving a bright citrus-tinged fade.
