Vintage 1960s Wild Turkey Straight Bourbon Whiskey Print Advertisement — Original Austin Nichols Ad
Approximately 8.5 x 11.5 inches.
This vintage 1960s Wild Turkey Straight Bourbon Whiskey magazine advertisement from Austin Nichols & Co. captures the brand at its most aspirational, pairing a rich Ken Davies wildlife painting of a wild turkey in an autumn woodland setting with the iconic 8-year-old 101-proof bottle. The headline — 'The Responsibility of Being the Best' — anchors this collectible ad in the golden era of American bourbon confidence. A prized original print ad for spirits collectors and bourbon enthusiasts, the Davies artwork was so beloved it was offered as a full-color reproduction print, making this vintage advertisement a genuine cultural artifact of mid-century American whiskey heritage.
