Templeton Rye Hidden Stash Collection 13 year 750ml

Templeton Rye Hidden Stash Collection 13 Year is a masterwork of patience and heritage, representing the crown jewel of Templeton’s aging program. This extremely limited release features sourced rye distillate that has been meticulously matured for thirteen seasons in the heart of Iowa, resting in new American oak barrels with a deep, heavy char. Bottled at a robust 108 proof and non-chill filtered to preserve its authentic character, this expression pays homage to the legendary bootlegging history of Templeton. Encased in a bespoke wooden presentation box with copper accents and a decanter-style bottle, it is a definitive collector’s piece designed for the most discerning whiskey connoisseurs.

The sensory journey begins with an elegant bouquet of bold rye spice, rich caramel, and aged oak, beautifully lifted by vibrant notes of candied orange zest and dark fruit. On the palate, a velvety, full-bodied texture unfolds with sophisticated layers of vanilla bean, sweet chipotle pepper, and toasted molasses, seamlessly bridging the gap between fiery spice and mature sweetness. The experience culminates in an exceptionally long, warming finish that lingers with sophisticated whispers of dark chocolate, honey, and peppered cocoa. Whether savored neat or with a splash of pure water, this 13-year-old rye stands as a profound testament to the artistry of time and the resilient spirit of American craftsmanship.
