Straight from the Still

Greetings from Templeton,

Happy holidays from your friends at Templeton Rye. We thought you would be interested in this list of the 25 top selling spirits in the State of Iowa in November – particularly the top of the list. Yes, we realize that different sizes of other brands are classified separately but we will take it! Thank you all for your incredible support.

As we mentioned previously, we have allocated 12,000 cases of Templeton Rye to Iowa in October, November and December. We know that we do not have enough product to meet demand year-round, but we tried to do our best to try to ensure there is Templeton Rye to be found during the holidays. We hope you will make Templeton a part of your celebration.

Speaking of Iowa, we are really excited about an upcoming event at Raccoon River Brewery on Sunday, Jan 15th. You can see further details below. (As a teaser: How would you like to have you and four friends/family members on a Templeton label?)

One more big thank you to all 318 people who helped with volunteer bottling. The first week was during the 5th anniversary of our first legal bottle of Templeton ever produced and the second week was the dawn of Batch 5. We had a great time working (and hanging out) with all of you and we look forward to doing this again next year.

Finally, we are looking to take our Mobile Speakeasy on tour around Iowa again next year. If you are interested in us stopping in your town please let us know. Also please include your recommendation for a good bar partner for the event.

Have a happy and safe holiday season and here’s to a great 2012!

Scott Bush, President, Templeton Rye
