Virgil Kaine Lowcountry Whiskey Co. Earns Gold Medal

The distillery’s Ashcat Blended Bourbon Whiskey earned the top honor in the Special Barrel-Finished Bourbon category. The gold medal is given to “exceptional spirits that are near the pinnacle of achievement and set the standard for its category.”

The Charleston-based company also took home a silver medal in the design competition for packaging.

Another Holy City business also earned two awards at the competition. Charleston Distilling took home a Silver Medal in the Flavored Gin category for their Jasper’s Bourbon Barrel Gin and a bronze in the Rye Whiskey group for their Calhoun’s Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey.
