It does yes,

however it is essential to rub the area for at least 10 seconds to kill all the bacteria. A quick wipe with an alcohol wipe isn't effective as an antibacterial.

Can bourbon kill mold?

Alcohol and MoldDrinking alcohol such as bourbon and vodka will probably not do a great job at killing mold because it contains a lot of sugar and the strength of the alcohol is not enough to cause serious damage-in addition the inebriated little mold spores might have lowered inhibitons leading to reckless behavior, and ultimately... more mold.I would try rubbing alcohol (70% Isopropyl) or store bought mold killers.
