From the still

Hi everyone.

Killmer here – in town for the month from Chicago to help with the historic bottling of Batch 4. It has been great to be home for a month in Iowa, seeing my family for the holiday – and of course the Templeton family. While living at the distillery sounds glamorous, it gets pretty quiet at night. We are starting to show signs of fatigue but bottling is going great. Scott and I have been staying in the tasting room at the distillery all week to ensure we are here bright and early when the bottling line gets cranked up.

The fun part is that every morning I get to meet a new batch of people from all over the country who show up to help us bottle Batch 4. We have had over 150 volunteers help over the last couple of weeks and we had an opportunity to get to know all of them as we sat together and bottled throughout the day. We could not have accomplished this without you – so a huge thanks to you all.

We have also had some great visitors from the local media. WHO-TV: http://www.whotv.com/news/who-story-templeton-rye-iowa-112410,0,6854925.story and KCCI: http://www.kcci.com/video/25965247/detail.html

Now down to business, “The Good Stuff” will start to arrive at the State Liquor Warehouse on Monday, December 6th. As most of you know, it is out of our hands at that point but your local retailer can order from the State on their usual order date, with product delivered the following day.

Finally, please come see us next week on our Mobile Speakeasy Tour. Details are below.

Happy Holidays from your friends at Templeton Rye!

Cheers,
Michael Killmer, Brand Manager, Templeton Rye
