We believe that this inaugural year of our #GoPinkWithDG campaign was a successful starting point. We look forward to making it an annual event that will only grow as time and momentum continue! Look for pink bottles next year, in October of 2022, with new labels that have an even larger pop of pink. Again, we send our heartfelt thanks for your participation in our pink bourbon campaign. It is such a good cause and we are proud to make these great donations to local cancer research. Cheers, Driftless Glen!
