The story starts in 1882. The Chicago, Milwaukee, and Pacific Railroad line is being built, and as often happens in the wake of such large-scale construction projects, new small communities are born. In the agricultural state of Iowa, the town of Templeton is founded.Templeton was - and still is - a tiny town of less than 400 people, and the world might never have heard its name had it not been for a particularly pivotal period in American history: Prohibition in the United States, which ran from 1920 all the way to 1933. Prohibition, my ass! In Templeton, Iowa, local farmers and merchants would not put up with government moralizing. They needed strong stuff to fortify themselves in hard times, so they committed civil disobedience and began producing a rye whiskey. The illegal whiskey was so good that it quickly became known in Templeton and the surrounding area as "The Good Stuff". For many years, the good rye whiskey remained a well-kept local secret, and it wasn't until 2001 that Templeton Rye was introduced to a wider audience. Americans LOVE the new old whiskey and the demand seems insatiable. In 2013, they passed the 1 million bottles per year milestone for the first time, and in 2018, they opened a distillery with a capacity of 2.4 million bottles per year. Sympathetically, the family-run business maintains its local roots. They are deeply involved in the small community and are on warm and respectful terms with neighbors and farmers in the area. Everything is as it has always been in the small town with the big whiskey.
