WhY BBS MATTERS…..
“BBS is not only about whiskey or even only bourbon, but about a love, enthusiasm, and desire to gather like-minded folks from across the country and world to engage in mature, adult conversations and education about a spirit we love and adore. At the same time, we are also bringing an awareness to an industry that has long dismissed our buying power and marketing influence. Until now, they could ignore us with trite marketing and advertising efforts but those days are dwindling away as we grow and make our voices known......”

“The Black Bourban Society (BBS) has been a conduit between the African American community and the spirits industry. With a tailored approach, BBS has created a space for all bourbonites to share, fellowship, and to learn. This is most impactful because it sheds light, not only on our taste but our position to make financial and cultural contributions. BBS has created a seat at the table and is poised to bring 30K+ people behind them. Make room and drink up!”

“The Society's benefit to me is in the personal interaction and Black folk getting together appreciating a fine spirit. The gravy is in in-person events & after sets, and networking with ALL the different personalities and backgrounds bellying up to the bar on any given occasion!”
