The BassFan Army today announced that Evan Williams, the second-largest-selling brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey in the U.S., is a new supporting sponsor of the BassFan Army. As a result, BassFan Army members across the country will benefit from the involvement of a strong non-endemic brand.
Evan Williams brand manager Kirstin Jackson said of the agreement: "Evan Williams bourbon is very excited to formalize our sponsorship with the BassFan Army. We know that bass angling is the No. 1 activity among Evan Williams consumers, and we know that the BassFan Army is truly the grassroots of fishing. The rapid growth of the BassFan Army is very important to fishing, and Evan Williams is proud to be a part of that growth."
BassFan VP of membership programs Al Smith said: "The goal of the BassFan Army is to provide real benefits to our members, and the support of Evan Williams will help tremendously with that goal. We couldn't be more pleased with the support they've shown us, and our members, and we welcome them."
