Farmers distilled it in barns and basements, passed it through back channels, and somehow got it all the way to Al Capone's Chicago operation. The recipe survived, the legend grew, and today Templeton 4 Year is one of the most approachable and genuinely delicious rye whiskies on the market. Spicy, smooth, and built for cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bundle pairs the 750ml bottle with a jar of Starlino Maraschino Cherries, the Italian-crafted cocktail cherry that has become the go-to for serious home bartenders. Together they are everything you need for a proper Manhattan, an Old Fashioned, or a Whiskey Sour with a finishing touch that elevates the whole drink. Buy it for yourself.

It also had a disproportionate number of skilled distillers who had been making rye whiskey for generations. When the 18th Amendment passed, they did not stop. They just got quieter. The whiskey they made became known as \"The Good Stuff\" and found its way to speakeasies, jazz clubs, and eventually the table of Al Capone himself, who reportedly kept it stocked at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe modern Templeton Rye is built on that original recipe, aged 4 years in new charred American oak barrels, and bottled at 40% ABV. It is approachable enough for newcomers and complex enough for collectors. The Starlino Cherries in this bundle are produced in Italy using Marasca cherries soaked in a blend of cherry liqueur and syrup. They are the cocktail cherry that bartenders actually reach for, not the neon red ones from the grocery store.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Templeton Rye Spirits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Templeton, Iowa, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge Statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBundle Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1x 750ml Templeton 4 Year Rye Whiskey, 1x Starlino Maraschino Cherries jar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 123019BW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border:1px solid #ffc107;background:#fff8e7;border-radius:6px;padding:16px 20px;margin-top:24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size:15px;margin-top:0;\"\u003eWhy Buy From The Booze Outlet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔒 \u003cstrong\u003eSecure checkout:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSL encrypted, 100% safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 \u003cstrong\u003eShips in 1 to 2 business days:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast, discreet packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📄 \u003cstrong\u003eAge-verified delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Must be 21+ to purchase and receive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏆 \u003cstrong\u003ePremium spirits specialists:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curated selection, expert sourcing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💬 \u003cstrong\u003eReal customer support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Questions?
