Singer-songwriter TylerBoone on building his career with a rapidly-growing bourbon brand
, which held its inaugural edition in April. But the bourbon brand is expanding more quickly than anything else he has going.
“[My] checks are way smaller now,” says Boone, but he adds that the partnership offers something money can’t buy: peace of mind. “If a run comes up,” he continues, “then it's all covered by [Local Choice].” That investor withdrew his offer only after Boone had fully committed himself to the idea, which included designing a logo and acquiring a federal liquor license.
