Case Summary:The lawsuit alleges that Templeton Rye Spirits used deceptive marketing by labeling their Templeton Rye Whiskey as "Small Batch" and "Made in Iowa". In actuality it is distilled in the State of Indiana. Apparently, evidence also exists that the whiskey is not made in small batches. The parties agree that Templeton Rye is not a “stock whiskey” sourced from a third-party and labeled “Templeton Rye.” Defendant denies all allegations of wrongdoing, but has agreed to settle to avoid a trial.
