Welcome to the heart of Templeton Rye. Here The Good Stuff is more than a whiskey, it’s a strong community spirit. We are proud of our town and its rich history. We would not be where we are today without the people and spirit of Templeton, Iowa.
The town of Templeton has a rich history with the whiskey that bears its name. The people, the places and the community hold the true spirit of The Good Stuff brand. That’s why, in 2005, the Templeton team partnered with a local area development group to bring the brand home, building a new facility in town. With a solid distillation partner already in place, the team began finishing, creating and bottling innovative products in the Templeton facility.
In Templeton, Iowa, history travels through stories that are passed down from one generation to the next. Get to the heart of The Good Stuff as we travel back in time to the days when prohibition reigned and Templeton Rye put our town on the map.
Building a brand from scratch is a gradual process. Thanks to hard work and our friends in Templeton, we’ve made great progress. Our company has a strong presence in the Templeton community, and we’re committed to maintaining that presence as we grow.
As the largest employer in Templeton, we’re invested in our community. We’ve put more than $1 million into the local economy since opening our doors. We also donate to community projects, like our contribution of $250,000 to the Templeton Community Center project, which created a premier $1.4 million recreational facility in the heart of town. Looking out for our neighbors is just part of the fabric of Templeton Rye.
The people of Templeton are what make the history of Templeton Rye so rich. Without the people willing to share their stories and unique experiences, The Good Stuff may have remained only a memory in the past.
