Hot damn! This year’s Bourbon Heritage Month was one for the books. It was a fantastic month of bourbon from which I’m still trying to recover. I swear that the #30DaysOfBourbon Challenge gets tougher each year as I get older. But it is so worth taking part and joining my fellow bourbon lovers to spread the bourbon gospel. And even though BHM consumes all of my energy leading up to and during September, I feel exhilarated at what we all accomplished together this year. Here’s a quick recap of this year’s celebration and how we impacted those who joined us for the celebration.

• 13.2 Million+ Digital Impressions (website, social channels, etc.)
• 5.3 Million+ Digital Reach (website, social channels, etc.)
• 1.2 Million+ Giveaway Entries

These are monster numbers for a niche community like Bourbon & Banter. Each of you deserves a round of applause for making Bourbon & Banter’s 30 Days of Bourbon celebration the biggest and best month-long celebration of Bourbon Heritage Month.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped us make this year’s celebration a huge success. From our distillery partners and sponsors to our dedicated contributors and community members–thank you. For now, I’m going to continue my recovery and start planning for next year’s celebration to make it even bigger and better.

In closing, I would like to share with everyone the winners of this year’s various giveaway prizes. All winners have been notified and will begin receiving their prize(s) over the next few weeks.
