Budget basic
Does the job and doesn't pretend otherwise. Bottom-third reviews at a bottom-third price. Breaking Bourbon gives it 2.5/5, vs. 3/5 for the typical rye whiskey (125 rated). Whiskybase gives it 82.5, vs. 84.2 for the typical rye whiskey (17 rated). Thin data, two sources.
Templeton Midnight Rye is an American rye whiskey from Templeton, Iowa, distilled in Indiana and aged in charred new American oak barrels before being blended with California port wine. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, it offers the classic spice and caramel character of rye rounded out with rich, fruity port notes and a sweet finish.
