Locally-made Boone's Bourbon, which was created by former Charleston resident and musician Tyler Boone and Local Choice Spirits, recently earned Double Gold at the New York International Spirits Competition.
Out of more than 1200 entries this year, hailing from 30 countries, the judges awarded just 42 Double Golds - the competitions highest honor. Just six of those medals went to bourbons.
Boone's Bourbon is made at Striped Pig Distillery in North Charleston.
