    Its a nice Rye but horrendously overpriced and confusing about which bottles are actually Iowan and which are not.
    Youre better off buying two bottles of Rittenhouse Rye for the same cost in my opinion.

    I believe Templeton has two different distillates in their different whiskeys. They get one batch of distillate from Indiana but they have a different batch that they distill in-house. Regardless of who distills a certain spirit, most places specify a recipe. So even if Seagrams is distills their stuff in the same place, it doesn't necessarily mean it is less of a quality product.

    And the barrels that Pete supposedly used is a Iowa whiskey barrel, so that implies that it would be from one of the Templeton small batch brands.

    It also says Templeton Rye on their current menu. Haymarket has always been quite clear about what barrels the various batches of Indignant have been aged in.

    I was responding to the somewhat silly request by raymo55 that they be considered two 'different' beers. They are already, and always have been, considered two different beers on both BeerAdvocate and RateBeer. I guess he may have been complaining that the first batch wasn't called Woodford Reserve Indignant, but it was the *only* Indignant at the time so there wasn't much risk of confusion. However, to be fair to Haymarket, it WAS called Indignant BOURBON Imperial Stout and the menu description is exactly what is cited in the notes on the beer listing, which specifically reference Woodford Reserve. I'm not sure what else Haymarket or BA could reasonably be expected to do here...

    That is just a more recent article, but I'm pretty sure it's all distilled in Indiana.

    Meh.. that's moreso because the Templeton barrels saw longer aging time.

    I believe the Woodford saw only 4 months in oak..

    I'd take the Woodford any day, personally.. if aged the same time as the Templeton counterpart..

    Like I said. The Templeton Rye is distillate from Indiana. The distillate from Iowa goes into the small batch stuff.
    As stated on Templeton's website
    http://www.templetonrye.com/history/business/

    I may have mispoke though regarding the barrel at Haymarket. The Templeton Rye BARRELS are still Iowa barrels. The whiskey is put into barrels and aged in Iowa. Your article states that as well.

    I will walk over later this afternoon and report back. The last couple of times they had Indignant, it did last like two weeks or so.

    I was there on Saturday and the bartender said he expected it would last until next weekend. So you might be ok on Thursday.
