The 2019 #30DaysofBourbon Challenge is now over! All 30 Bourbons are below, along with my calendar. This was the fifth annual Challenge and it was bigger and better than ever. Thank you all who participated, and a special thank-you if you donated to a charity of your choosing.
My donation went to the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA), which is an amazing organization that caters to the community battling RSD/CRPS by providing education, support and driving research for a cure to this horrible nerve disorder. This has a special place in my heart because Mrs. Whiskeyfellow has been battling CRPS for a number of years. I even took the RSD/CRPS Ice Challenge (video at the bottom of the page) to help bring awareness.
Most new people who take part in the Challenge find it is much more difficult than it initially sounded. They don't necessarily get hung up on drinking Bourbon for 30 days, several make that assumption and quickly tell me this won't be different than any other month. What becomes challenging is not repeating the Bourbon at any point in the month. This is a great way to discover new favorites or revisit a Bourbon you may have even forgotten about. I find Bourbons tucked away on my shelf every year.
If you took part in the Challenge, did you find it difficult or easy? Also, feel free to give a shout-out to your charity.
Thank you so much for taking this journey with me over the past 30 days. I'm already looking forward to 2020.
