Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil Edition is a 16-year, 120-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon — the debut release of Wild Turkey's Austin Nichols Archives Collection.
The Austin Nichols Archives Collection is a limited-edition annual series honoring the most iconic bottles in Wild Turkey's history, and the first series led by Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell. The inaugural Gold Foil Edition is a 16-year-old, non-chill filtered bourbon inspired by the collector-favorite vintage "Cheesy Gold Foil" releases of the 1980s and 1990s, built around longer aging and higher proof to capture that era's depth and mature oak character.
