Good morning, people of Austin! It's me again, Gabriela Couvillion, your host of the Austin Daily.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and very warm. High: 93 Low: 53.

Here are the top stories today in Austin:

  1. Esprit Digital, a London-based custom-kiosk manufacturer, and Big Outdoor installed "10 stunning, double-sided kiosks into the Domain Northside center." Travis Hodges, COO of Big Outdoor, said, "With the launch of The Austin Digital Network, we are proud to bring large-format mixed with street-level DOOH to the fastest growing market in the country." He added, "There is no doubt that brands want to be seen on the highest-quality street furniture and having worked with Esprit Digital before, they were the obvious partner for Domain Northside. In our opinion, these kiosks are the best-looking ones in the whole country and the first reactions from our clients and the public have been universally positive."

  2. Austin 101 Light Whiskey, "the award-winning whiskey crafted in Austin, Texas by Austin Craft Spirits Company," recently received a gold medal during the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, making it "the third gold medal awarded to Austin 101 in less than a year." Austin Craft Spirits founders said, "We are pleased to have been awarded a gold medal by such an exceptional judging competition. " They added, "This is a wonderful recognition of our efforts to establish Light Whiskey as an exciting category and reinforces why so many people love Austin 101." The whiskey which is 50.5 percent alcohol by volume "is available in 750 ml bottles with a manufacturers' suggested retail price of $49 and can be found at www.austin101whiskey.com/where-to-find.
