Best known for winning the 2013 NCAA Basketball tournament with University of Louisville and holding multiple college and pro records, Russ Smith joins the show and blind tastes an assortment of very good bourbon. Fred and Russ blindly taste:

Maker's Mark 46, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Barrel Finished with 10 French Oak Staves

Rabbit Hole Starlino, Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Vermouth Casks

Four Gate Private Select, Limited Release, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in a Toasted Cask

Smoke Wagon Rare and Limited Straight Bourbon Whiskey, NV

Four Roses Private Select, SIngle Barrel, Barrel Strength - by Lincoln Road

The new owner of Mr. and Mrs. Bourbon, Smith is well suited for this blind tasting. What bourbon wins it all?
