Wild Turkey – 16 Year Old Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil Edition 75cl is a whisky from Wild Turkey (Kentucky, USA). Aged 16 years, bottled at 60% ABV, 75cl. In 1869 the Ripy brothers opened their distillery on Wild Turkey Hill in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.

The distillery praises their master distiller Jimmy Russell who is the longest-tenured active master distiller in the world and learned techniques from Ernest W. Ripy, son of the original distiller. Famous in the bourbon world, Jimmy Russell has been at the distillery through consistent success after success.
