News from Denver,
As Co-Ambassador of Templeton Rye in the Denver metro area, I would like to report the following to the company (aka Kevin).
1. Tell your friend in Littleton for a limited time there will be Templeton Rye at The White Owl in Globeville (close to I-70 & Washington). It is a small but delightful little bar. Also at The Squeaky Bean (33rd and Tejon) a lovely little bar and restaurant gaining national fame.
2. But in addition they apparently have Templeton Rye at the Whiskey Bar on 22nd and Larimer ALL of the time. I was there last night at Geeks Who Drink. Internet purchase maybe?
BUT be warned: it is my true belief that the whiskey is better when transported and delivered in the same prohibition era manner it is famous for – it needs to travel in a car from Iowa to its destination. Somehow this makes the whiskey happy and much smoother when consumed inconspicuously.
Sincerely
Ambassador Candie
ps If you ever need a national ambassador for the nectar I might be able to fill the bill. Although I admit to being a bourbon snob, I love the TR and would like to help you succeed spreading the good word.

I have one bottle left of the 6 we obtained on our search from Council Bluff’s to Sioux City. I am unsure if I will be able to attend the big bash. If the last bottle is gone I might need to make another trip.

So can someone clarify for me that there will be Templeton Rye and the Rock and Rye days?
