We have more bottles then any other bar in town (and probably in state) I just have a huge appreciation for Whiskey and I just thought something was fishy from the start. I've bartended for years and I love whiskey and respect it, so knowledge of my product is very important to me!

When Templeton started, they bought some existing LDI-made rye whiskey, either directly from LDI or from an intermediary. They continue to buy that whiskey from LDI. The only change is that now they bring the barreled whiskey to Iowa to age. LDI makes very good rye whiskey but it's their recipe, not Templeton's. Templeton is aged and bottled in Iowa but it is distilled in Indiana. So it depends on what your definition of "made" is.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-44840162484505253542011-06-17T13:38:45.021-05:002011-06-17T13:38:45.021-05:00We sell a lot of it at an English Pub I work at in...We sell a lot of it at an English Pub I work at in Iowa and I've just heard many many times the misquote of it is actually being made in Templeton Iowa...which I had down some research and found out that it is actually produced by LDI. They market it as the original recipe from prohibition and was just wondering does LDI put that much effort it to making it a solid Rye Whiskey as they market it as?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045087352673513316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-80483554104779651972011-06-16T20:37:11.328-05:002011-06-16T20:37:11.328-05:00I know Templeton is one of the brands that uses LD...I know Templeton is one of the brands that uses LDI's rye.

Diageo has the high ground now.<br /><br />Diageo also categorically denies that there is any LDI bourbon in Bulleit Bourbon.<br /><br />Truly, I have no reason to doubt them, and this came from an official spokesperson who wouldn't say it without checking, so good for Diageo and thank you.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-23995118064556308302011-03-10T14:04:24.060-06:002011-03-10T14:04:24.060-06:00I was excited by the whole Templeton Rye "reb...I was excited by the whole Templeton Rye "rebirth" until I read a Trib article about how and where it's made.

But like 'manufactured,' the regs don't define 'produced.' One could argue that the state in which the spirit achieved its straightness, i.e., celebrated its second anniversary in wood, is the state where produced.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-68029593226117211612011-03-10T09:48:58.238-06:002011-03-10T09:48:58.238-06:00Chuck, as always thanks for your dedication to pro...Chuck, as always thanks for your dedication to providing factual information to American Whiskey fans. I find it very fascinating to learn more about the industry and more importantly how products are made.<br /><br />I agree that we need to ask for more honesty from the people whose products we purchase. LDI may be a mystery but I am glad they exist, especially in this rye drought we are currently experiencing it's nice to see new product on the shelves.Filiphttp://adventuresincocktails.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-38496099468691649642011-03-10T07:53:23.037-06:002011-03-10T07:53:23.037-06:00Chuck, thanks for writing about this.
