Boone's Bourbon Wins Platinum in 2021 LA Spirits Awards

Introducing Platinum Medal winner: @boonesbourbon!

The brainchild of American singer/songwriter, Tyler Boone, Boone's Bourbon is sourced, managed, and bottled by Striped Pig Distillery in Charleston, SC.⠀
⠀
Boone's is a bourbon for those who like to taste their alcohol. But though it clocks in at a kicky 58.5% ABV, it serves up just a medium heat that lets its complex flavor profile shine through. ⠀
⠀
On the nose, waxy vanilla, funky (in a good way) citrus, and sweet custard.⠀
⠀
On the palate, lemon pound cake with a drizzle of caramel, oak and honey interlaced with vanilla, smoke, and leather with a dash of cloves and cinnamon.⠀
⠀
A medium finish rounds out the experience. Creamy. Lingering notes of warm cinnamon and dry wood.⠀
⠀
Boone's bourbon is a testament to the fact that although the majority of America’s native spirit still hails from Kentucky, great bourbon can come from anywhere in the USA.⠀

University of Kentucky researchers working to improve bourbon barrel manufacturing

BREATHITT COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - Before bourbon barrels are built, the staves, or slats of wood that make up the barrel, are dried outdoors for several months to even years.

Through this drying process, they can develop checks and cracks that can create problems later on.

In an effort to understand and combat these issues with the staves, researchers at UK are testing emulsion techniques and shade blankets to hopefully prevent degradation and less loss for these companies.

“It means less trimming, less wood that goes to the boiler for fuel to power kilns and electricity, and more going into those barrels,” said Chad Niman, research specialist in the UK Department of Forestry and Natural Resources.

Forbes | The World’s Best Bourbons—According To The New York International Spirits Competition

And we’re back...talking about the New York International Spirits Competition, which just released the results of its 2020 judging. As we discussed earlier in the week, the ‘Double Gold’ recipients in the scotch category were largely unexpected. Well, wait until you hear about some of these bourbon victors. Scattered among some very dependable everyday drinking whiskies is a relatively obscure offering out of Charleston, South Carolina.

For those that are just joining us, NYISC differentiates itself from standard competitions in that the tasting panel is comprised entirely of professional buyers. This includes restaurant beverage directors, bartenders, bottleshop owners, etc. Furthermore, the liquids aren’t just judged by category, but price is also taken into consideration. And so there you’ll find some liquids that perhaps wouldn’t have a chance in other forums because you have a modest $20 bottle sized up against a $2000 showstopper. When cost is a factor, you end up with a fairer spectrum of finalists. (Keep an eye out for the New York International Wine Competition, scheduled for mid-September.)

Out of more than 1200 entries this year, hailing from 30 countries around the world, the judges awarded just 42 ‘Double Golds’—the highest honor. Six of those medals were draped around the collar of bourbon bottles. And lucky for us, they’re all reasonably priced and relatively easy to procure. Bonus!

Local Choice Spirits — Boones Bourbon ($45)

A geographic outlier, this barrel-strength offering is produced and bottled outside of Charleston, South Carolina. There’s a lot going on here. Clove, stewed apples, smoke, and even a touch of leather—all suspended within a pleasantly creamy mouthfeel. Although 95% of America’s native spirit comes from Kentucky, bourbon—and, yes, even great bourbon—can come from anywhere in the US. This particular label serves as a compelling testament to that fact.
