Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archive Gold Edition is a limited-release Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Kentucky, USA, created to honor one of the brand’s most sought-after vintage eras through a modern interpretation led by Bruce Russell. Aged 16 years, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 120 proof (60% ABV), it follows Wild Turkey’s traditional mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley for a bold, deeply layered profile.
Rich aromas of mature oak, dried fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and walnut lead into a palate packed with cherry cola, dark caramel, clove, tobacco, cocoa, and dark honey. The finish lingers with peppery spice, brown sugar, leather, and structured oak tannins. Best enjoyed neat to experience its full complexity, or with a few drops of water to reveal deeper layers of flavor.
