Templeton, the Iowa distillery known for its rye whiskey, just released its first Fortitude Bourbon, the first whiskey entirely produced in-house.
in Indiana since its founding in 2006. But in 2018, Templeton opened its own distillery in the Iowa town of the same name and has been making whiskey there ever since—and it turns out it’s not just rye.
Until now, the Templeton portfolio has consisted of rye whiskeys aged for four, six, and 10 years, along with a few cask finishes. None of the rye that is being distilled in-house has been dropped yet, which makes this bourbon release even more notable for the distillery. In keeping with the rye whiskey theme, Fortitude is a very high-rye bourbon: The mashbill is 55 percent corn, 40 percent rye, and 5 percent malted barley.
