Templeton Rye
This weekend we explored a couple of very old-timey recipes that make use of rye whiskey. The Algonquin was invented at the bar in the venerable NYC hotel of the same name; a jot of pineapple juice is among the ingredients and it smooths and sweetens the drink Just Enough without taking over the well-balanced flavor profile. We also took The Oriental out for a spin; it uses sweet vermouth and fresh lime in perfect proportions to showcase the beauty of a good rye.
So what’s a good rye? We love Templeton, a smooth, complex whiskey without any of that stinky-old-man thing you get from some ryes. This IS the good stuff!
Always drink responsibly; always drink well.
