Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil Edition

The inaugural release in Wild Turkey's Austin Nichols Archives Collection, Gold Foil Edition pays tribute to the legendary "Cheesy Gold Foil" bourbons that earned cult status among collectors throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Crafted by Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell, this 16 year old Kentucky straight bourbon is bottled at 120 proof, non chill filtered, and built to capture the bold character that made the original Gold Foil releases so revered.

The nose opens with mature oak, dried fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted walnut. On the palate, rich cherry cola, dark caramel, clove, tobacco, and cocoa unfold with remarkable depth, supported by Wild Turkey's unmistakable mature oak character. Despite its proof, the whiskey remains beautifully integrated, finishing with peppery spice, brown sugar, leather, and lingering oak that continue to evolve long after the sip.

For a pairing that honors its classic Kentucky roots, pour Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil Edition alongside our Beef Bourguignon Sliders. The whiskey's mature oak, dark caramel, and baking spice complement the slow braised beef and melted cheeses, while its peppery finish cuts through the richness of the focaccia. It's a pairing that feels timeless, comforting, and worthy of a bourbon with this much history.
