Explore the Distillery
Whiskey, the Small Town Way.
We’re keeping our town’s tradition alive with a new generation of Iowans who know their way around good whiskey.
The Templeton Distillery runs on ideas, elbow grease, and a whole lot of heart. With thousands of barrels aging in the rack house, stores of the finest locally sourced corn, multi-story copper stills, and 10,000 gallon fermentation tanks – it’s a bit more sophisticated of an operation than we had back in Prohibition. But we still do things the small town way: patiently, proudly, and with plenty of good stories to tell.
Local hands get to work on our bottling line.
Enough room for over 100,000 barrels of whiskey.
Aged through Iowa’s wild climate swings for unmistakable flavor.
Meet our first ever bourbon: Templeton Fortitude.
Distilled aged, and bottled in our Templeton, Iowa distillery.
Home to the next generation of Iowan whiskey makers.
Al, Morg, Stump...
Our fermentation tanks are named after the farmers turned bootleggers of our town's Prohibition past.
