Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Christmas Rye Edition 11 Year – 115 Proof

750mL

Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Christmas Rye Edition 11 Year – Coming Soon This is an upcoming release that hasn't reached shelves yet. It's the second bottle in Wild Turkey's Austin Nichols Archives series, which brings back famous old Wild Turkey labels, and it follows the Gold Foil Edition. This one is a tribute to the original Christmas Rye, a holiday straight rye that Jimmy Russell made in the 1980s and 1990s and that collectors now look for. The new version is an 11-year-old Kentucky straight rye bottled at 115 proof without chill filtration, and Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell oversaw it. Release date and pricing haven't been announced yet. Product Details • Distillery: Wild Turkey (Lawrenceburg, Kentucky) • Style: Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, non-chill filtered • Age: 11 years • Proof / ABV: 115 proof (57.5% ABV) • Size: 750ml • Availability: Coming soon, limited release Why It Stands Out The original Christmas Rye is one of the rarest vintage Wild Turkey bottles, and this is the first time in decades that the distillery has made a holiday rye in its honor. The first Archives release, the Gold Foil Edition, got a lot of attention, so this one is expected to be in high demand. Serving Suggestions At 115 proof, taste it neat first, then add a little water. It should also make an excellent high-proof Manhattan for the holidays.
