Templeton Rye - Who's Finding It?

This whole thing has turned into a joke, spent too much time this morning driving around Ames trying to find some. Ended up at Super Wally World buying one for 35.00. Next went to Hy Vee East and right there in front of my eyes right behind the counter was 10 cases! I asked how many I could buy at once and the ahole asks if I'm "on the list", what list?? The says he has been keeping a "list" for YEARS. Well no, I'm not on the "list", but I'm standing right here with my credit card and you have 60+ bottles 3 feet away, so sell me some!!
Time to move on to something else...

This!!
Its ridiculous. I am going to move on to the "next best thing". Who knows, maybe I'll even find something that I like better. Either way, it will be something I know I'll be able to get and know right where to find it.
 
Wife was at the grocery store (won't name it!) and the guy in line behind her had a bottle of TR...

And she never went to see if there was any more!

We have a new rule: If she sees a bottle in a store she needs to buy one. If that means making the cashier pause for a minute then so be it! GRRR!!!! Can't believe she didn't pick a bottle up!

You should be at that store right now, brother. Call the place, if they have some ,go get it, Very simple.



There are a handful of posters in this thread that I would never want to go on a treasure hunt with. For real.

I gave up treasure hunting some years back.......
 
I had a glass at a buddy's during the Iowa/ISU game. I'm not a huge fan of straight whiskey but it tasted pretty damn good. Much better than Jim or Jack. I'm looking forward to getting some myself and splashing some coke in it. Plus the bottle itself is one of the coolest bottles of booze pretty much ever.
 
The wife won't tell me where/how/who she was able to get a bottle but tonight I was pleasantly surprised with a bottle of the good stuff! Heck of an early Christmas gift for sure! :jiggy:
 
4 or 5 cases left at guppys on the go on lindale dr in marion. They just added a liquor store 1 month ago so not many people know they sell it. They told me they got 10 cases on Friday so they are going fast.

Thanks for the info. Just went and picked up two bottles. They had a two bottle limit/customer. They still have 3 full cases left.

Only bad news: $56/bottle.
 
If you're willing to drive to Wilton, IA (Jeff's Grocery) there are 7 cases left according to the checkout lady. Bought 4 bottles today.
 
How does this compare to say Crown Royal? Not that I am concerned but just curious. I got mine due to the historical significance to my family. My dad was born and grew up in Templeton and my mom told me a story about how back during prohibition, my grandfather would leave once or twice a month for a job. This "job" involved him being gone for a weekend at a time. My grandfather never told my grandmother what this job was or what it entailed but my mom and dad later told me that he was running templeton rye to Chicago. Once I saw this article in the Des Moines Rag, it reminded me of the story and I had to get some. Didn't even realize they were still making it. Kind of a cool story anyway.

Simple answer: it does not.

Yeah I thought that $56 a bottle was a little pricey. I seemed to remember it costing around $40.00 per bottle.
 
I got a bottle for a buddy who now lives out of state -- North Carolina to be exact.

Now the problem I have is getting the bottle to him. UPS or FedEx won't ship it because, duh, it is bootlegging (they will ship wine, on the other hand).

Will I be safe if I wrap it up good, put it in a box inside another box and take it to the post office to send?

You should be, I have done it a couple of times now with beer/liquor exchanges on another forum.
