Templeton 10 Year Reserve Review
This sourced, single-barrel release is bottled at a burly 52 percent ABV. The booze helps to liven the texture of the whiskey on the palate, though its aromas and flavors are surprisingly delicate by contrast. Subtle notes of banana chips, caramel, and spicy pepper run throughout, but given the nuanced nature of this rye, we recommend steering clear of cocktails and reserving for sipping occasions.
