Templeton Rye refers to rye whiskey originally made in Templeton, Iowa during the prohibition era as a way for farmers in the Carroll County area to supplement their income.〔(Templeton, Iowa website ), "The Story of Templeton Rye."〕 Amber in color, it was considered to be of particularly high quality and was popular in Chicago, Omaha, and Kansas City speakeasies.〔Lisa L. Ossian. "Bandits, Mad Men, and Suicides: Fear, Anger, and Death in a Troubled Iowa Landscape, 1929-1933. " ''Agricultural History'' 80.3 (2006): 296-311 at 302. Sciences Module. ProQuest. 25 Aug. 2007 http://www.proquest.com〕 It was said to be the mobster Al Capone's drink of choice. More recently "Templeton Rye" has been introduced as a brand of whiskey that its producer claims is based on a prohibition-era recipe. Distribution outside of Iowa began in August 2007.〔 〕 In fact, Templeton Rye brand whiskey is distilled and aged in Lawrenceburg Indiana by MGP of Indiana utilizing a recipe shared with other brands. It is combined with an "alcohol flavoring agent" from Clarendon Flavor Engineers, and finally bottled at an Iowa facility.〔〔 Pursuant to a class action settlement announced in 2015, Templeton will add the words "distilled in Indiana" to the label and remove claims of "Prohibition Era Recipe" and "small batch." The settlement also affords refunds to customers who bought Templeton Rye since 2006. ==As a commercial brand== In 1965, Clifford and Rose Romey registered "Templeton Rye Whiskey" as a corporation and trademark in Iowa, which was renewed by Alice Romey in 1996.〔(Iowa Secretary of State website ) corporation number 136690〕 It went inactive in 2001. Shortly thereafter, Scott Bush, Keith Kerkhoff, and Ted Bauer (then the holder of the Templeton Rye trademark) formed a corporation to make rye whiskey in Templeton using a prohibition-era recipe. (Based on information on the Iowa Secretary of State website, Bush is the registered agent for "Templeton Rye Whiskey LLC".〔(Iowa Secretary of State website ) corporation number 333277〕 and Brian Green is the registered agent for "Templeton Rye Spirits, LLC".〔(Iowa Secretary of State website ) corporation number 309385〕 The brand's product literature lists "Templeton Rye Spirits, LLC" as the corporate name and that is the company that holds the distilling license.) Ted Bauer of Audubon, Iowa, is no longer involved with the company.〔(Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy, LLC board of directors ) retrieved from http://www.sireethanol.com website August 25, 2007.〕 Scott Bush claims that his great-grandfather was involved in the making of the original Templeton rye. However, the recipe used is not from Bush's great-grandfather, but from Alphons Kerkhoff,〔("Karlin's Notebook: Prohibition-Era Whiskey Makes Comeback ) KCCI (Des Moines, Iowa, television station) website, posted November 15, 2006.〕 whose son Meryl Kerkhoff provided the recipe. In August 2014, it was revealed that the recipe used was not that of any family, but a standard recipe from MGP. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Templeton Rye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
