Templeton Rye Stout Cask Finish

Templeton Stout Cask Finish is the fourth release in Templeton’s limited-edition Barrel Finish Series, which focuses on utilizing unusual wood treatments and sourcing unconventional flavors to elevate each expression.

Templeton Stout Cask Finish was distilled from a 95% rye / 5% malted barley mash bill and originally matured for six years in American oak flame-charred barrels, then finished in bourbon barrel-aged chocolate coffee stout casks for three months, providing a fantastic flavor profile of coffee and chocolate.

Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Aromas of roasted chocolate, creamy cocoa, and dried apricot hint spectacularly at what’s to come.

Taste: Complex and full-bodied with sweet malt and roasted barley that dovetail with black cherries and toasted almonds, giving way to subtle coffee tones over a base of rye pepper and spice.

Finish: Perfectly balanced with a creamy mouthfeel of roasted coffee and cocoa that slowly dissipates into a long decadent finish.
