Templeton Rye Tequila Cask Finish Rye Whiskey 750mL is a bold and innovative twist on the classic Templeton rye, expertly finished in ex-tequila barrels to create a one-of-a-kind fusion of American and Mexican craftsmanship. This limited-edition release combines Templeton’s signature rye spice with the vibrant, citrusy notes of premium tequila—delivering a whiskey experience that’s both refreshing and complex.

Distilled from a 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill and aged in new charred American oak, the whiskey is then transferred to carefully selected tequila casks for a secondary maturation. The result is a smooth, layered spirit where peppery rye spice meets hints of agave, lime zest, vanilla, and oak. Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), it’s the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and depth.

Part of Templeton’s Finishing Series, this expression reflects the brand’s spirit of innovation while honoring the rich heritage of “The Good Stuff” from Templeton, Iowa.
