Iowa Liquor Commissioner visits Templeton Rye Distillery
Iowa Liquor Commissioner Lynn Walding lends a hand on the bottling line.
Lynn Walding, Administrator of the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division, recently visited the Templeton Rye distillery and toured our updated production, laboratory, warehouse, bottling and storage facilities. Commissioner Walding was joined by Steve Kuzynowski, Design Engineer for the Iowa ABD.
The tour concluded with lunch at the legendary Corner Station in Templeton, where we discussed distilleries in Iowa and how the Iowa ABD division operates. Distilleries are relatively new to Iowa, so we’re all learning as we go. We really appreciate Commissioner Walding taking the time to visit and tour our new-and-improved facility. Lynn is a former NABCA President and is well-known in the industry.

Just wanted to drop a note after looking through the TR newsletter, and let you know that my aunt and uncle (Mox & Anna Mae Irlmeier) are getting a little news coverage here in my town in Illinois! I bring up the TR and let my friends read and sip the TR. They didn’t believe my grandfather had anything to do with the makings of the original TR until they tasted some of your bottled rye. They are believers..it’s ‘good stuff”! If you see Mox & Annie, tell them “Jo-Jo” & “Speedy”said hi! Best of luck to you!
Sincerely,
