A little over 2 months ago I wrote a blog post entitled “[Help Wanted: Seeking Bourbon Evangelists](https://www.bourbonbanter.com/bourbon-banter/help-wanted-seeking-bourbon-evangelists/)” and posted it here on Bourbon & Banter. I was looking for fellow bourbon lovers to help me write content for the blog and help spread the bourbon gospel over social media. I remember pressing “Publish” on the post and hoping that I would get at least 1-2 people willing to lend a hand.

You can imagine my surprise when 35+ people raised their hands expressing interest in becoming part of Bourbon & Banter. I was beyond thrilled. In fact, I was little humbled.

Over the course of several weeks I put everyone through their paces by having them answer detailed questions about their bourbon history, reasons for wanting to write and topics they were interested in focusing on. I eventually narrowed it down to 12 people, who were then asked to write a guest post for the blog. ([View all the initial Guest Posts](https://www.bourbonbanter.com/tag/guest-post/).) Unfortunately for me, all of the guests posts were really well done and readers seemed to respond positively to all of them. What I mean by “unfortunately” is that it was going to make it really hard to pick just a handful of folks to join the Bourbon & Banter team.

So after another week of reviewing the posts in more detail, analyzing reader feedback, shares across social media and more than a few glasses of bourbon I made the decision to ask each of them to become part of our team.

Therefore, without any further banter, I’m pleased to introduce you to the new [Bourbon & Banter Contributors](https://www.bourbonbanter.com/our-story/).

![The Bourbon & Banter Team](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1f/bc/1fbc7ea1-d6e2-43ab-9661-246c6f0c07f9/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/bourbonbantermeettheteam.jpg)

As we head into Bourbon Heritage month tomorrow the team will be bringing you more of the bourbon content you love but with a wider perspective. Please check out each members’ bio and connect with them on Twitter over on our [Meet The Bourbon & Banter Team section](https://www.bourbonbanter.com/our-story/) of the website.

I’m thrilled to have them on our team and look forward to working together to spread the bourbon gospel.
