Templeton Distillery tells BourbonBlog.com that they are releasing their first whiskey entirely produced by Templeton Distillery in Iowa: “Fortitude” Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Scheduled to hit the shelves in May 2024, this bourbon whiskey launch marks a significant evolution for Templeton Distillery.
Known for its rye whiskey, the distillery has historically had its products distilled and aged in Indiana, with only the maturation and bottling processes occurring in Iowa.
The opening of their new $35 million facility in 2018 signified a shift towards local production This state-of-the-art facility, encompassing 34,500 square feet on a 20-acre plot, is equipped for full-scale production, aiming to produce 500,000 proof gallons of whiskey annually.
It represented not just an expansion in capacity but also a commitment to crafting authentic Iowa whiskey.
