Join us in celebrating the 75th anniversary of the end of Prohibition
On December 5, 1933, the United States Congress repealed the Prohibition Act, restoring Americans the freedom to enjoy their spirits again — legally, that is. On Friday, December 5th, Iowans all over the state will celebrate the end of the “Noble Experiment,” as coined by fellow Iowan Herbert Hoover.
We’re teaming up with the following bars to sponsor Prohibition Repeal Parties:
Sweet Fanny’s - Sioux City, Iowa
CJ’s Bar and Grill - Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Jameson’s - Waterloo, Iowa
Royal Mile - Des Moines, Iowa
Depot Lounge - Grinnell, Iowa

I had been a Scots’ Whiskey devotee for over forty years, until I took my first sip of Templeton Rye … I had tried other Brands of Rye before, but couldn’t tell them from Bourbon … My conversion came, and my allegiance remains because of Templeton’s seductive smoothness, ever-pleasant never-cloying taste, and consistent High Quality … I love the Rich Tone of the liquid and the warming promise of the scent in my glass, and I love the History of Templeton Rye … All the Best to you all and Happy Holidays …

Hello, I was/am a friend of Msgr Behrens of the S City Diocese, and have enjoyed a drink with him in his Mt Carmel days from a bottle with the name Behrens embossed within the glass, not a paper label.
Did Behrens produce a whiskey with Templeton Rye folks or was it separate?
Thanks.

Hello Bernie- Msgr Behrens is a name that comes up a lot when discussing Templeton Rye, both during our interviews and by our bottlers, who were all members of his congregation.
We recently came across a nice article about Msgr Behrens that we plan to put in the blog soon. He was certainly a well-respected man in the area and a man of many interests, including Templeton Rye.
We have not seen the product you are referencing but that certainly does not mean it is not out there. We will keep and eye out, and let you know if we come across it.
