Editorial Policy

Here at BourbonBanter.com, we take our stories, readers and drinking very seriously.

Our editorial team carefully chooses all of our articles and recipes. BourbonBanter.com does not accept payment or any kickback for anything we write about. No one can pay to be featured in an article written by BourbonBanter.com. We mean it: That’s what advertising is for.

BourbonBanter.com occasionally sends out emails featuring products or offerings from our sponsors; when paid for, these emails will always be explicitly labeled as “Partner Tip.” Likewise, social-media content provided by our sponsors is designated by either “(sponsored)” for Facebook or “(sp)” for Twitter. These sponsored emails and posts are one of the ways we keep the lights on around here. They’re how we keep those regular high-quality editorial stories coming.
