In 1869, The Ripy family built the foundations of what is known today as the Wild Turkey Bourbon distillery. Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon is still produced using the same traditional technique, handcrafted by Master Distiller Eddie Russell alongside his father Jimmy Russell. Combined, the pair have over 97 years of experience and are the only active father and son Master Distiller team in the world. Rare Breed is abarrel-proof bourbon meaning it is bottled directly from a variety of barrels at the proof it reaches in those barrels with no added water to lower the proof or dilute the flavour. This bourbon is a unique marriage of Wild Turkey 6 to and 12-year-olod stocks, which give the whiskey a rich exceptional flavour that is remarkably smooth considering its high alcohol content.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a Barrel Proof Bourbon, meaning no water is added to reduce the level of alcohol during the bottling process. This method captures its rich pure Bourbon flavour. Medium to full-bodied with a nose of spring flowers balanced by a touch of black pepper and almonds.

Rich gold in colour, Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit displays rich aromas of fruit, smooth caramel and delectable hints of spice and pepper. Vanilla, toffee and oak swim on the palate with a dry, citrus finish. Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

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.
