A Taste for Whiskey

Jun. 15, 2009 3:39 pm
Iowans have purchased 1,117 cases of Iowa-made Templeton Rye this year through the end of May, according to the state's Alcoholic Beverages division. That's good for 94th among the state's Hot 100 brands.
Not too shabby. A 13 percent increase over a year ago. I've done my part for the home team.
So what's No. 1? Black Velvet, with 38,000 cases.
