The Templeton Distillery offers a captivating tour experience, showcasing its rich history of rye and corn whiskey production since legalization in Iowa. Guests can enjoy a selection of great whiskeys and a discount at the gift shop, making it a worthwhile destination. The facility can bottle up to 7,000 liters per day during peak production, providing visitors with a glimpse into the family-owned operation. The tour is highly informative, delving into the distillery's history, including the prohibition era and the great lengths people went to have their whiskey. Visitors can take pictures throughout the guided tour, and the sense of belonging at Templeton is evident. The smoked old fashioned at the on-site bar is a must-try for visitors.
