Wild Turkey

Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

The Austin Nichols Archives Collection celebrates the rare and iconic bottles that shaped Wild Turkey’s legacy—reimagined for today. Named after the wholesale grocer‑turned‑liquor distributor that helped create the Wild Turkey brand in the 1940s, the series draws from defining eras in the distillery’s past, honouring the whiskey, craftsmanship and conviction that have endured for generations.   Launching after the final release of the Master’s Keep Series, Austin Nichols Archives introduces a new line of highly collectible, limited‑edition bourbons and marks the first Wild Turkey series led exclusively by Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell, carrying the Russell family legacy into its next generation.   The inaugural release, Gold Foil Edition, draws inspiration from one of Wild Turkey’s most beloved vintage bottlings from the 1980s and 1990s—nicknamed by fans as the ‘Cheesy Gold Foil’. Originally released between 1985 and 1992, these bottles later gained cult status among collectors for their remarkable depth, intensity and unmistakable character.   Rather than recreating those whiskies outright, Gold Foil Edition was crafted to match the complexity and magnitude of flavour typical of the so‑called Glut Era, when older barrels were often blended into standard bottlings, resulting in bourbons with a richness rarely found today.
