Description

The Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil Edition marks the inaugural release of an all-new, highly collectible bourbon series, replacing the iconic Master’s Keep lineup. Crafted under the leadership of Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell, this limited-edition release pays tribute to one of the most legendary eras in Wild Turkey’s history.

Inspired by the cult-favorite “Cheesy Gold Foil” bottles of the 1980s and 1990s, this 16-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon captures the deep, complex character that made those vintage expressions so revered. Rather than recreating the past, this release reimagines it—bringing forward the richness, maturity, and bold personality of the “Glut Era” into a modern, refined profile.

Aged primarily in the renowned Camp Nelson rickhouses, this bourbon benefits from a unique climate that enhances depth, oak influence, and intensity. Bottled at 120 proof and non-chill filtered, it delivers a powerful yet balanced experience for serious bourbon enthusiasts and collectors alike.

With its beautifully designed packaging featuring vintage-inspired artwork and gold foil detailing, this release is as visually striking as it is exceptional in the glass.

Extremely limited. Highly collectible. Already sold out in the USA.
