Meet the Founder
Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon Company was founded in 2019 by Russ Smith and is co-owned by Cecy Linzey. Smith is known globally for his basketball career, but bourbon became his full-time passion after basketball brought the Brooklyn native to Kentucky in 2010.
Before bottling his first batch, Smith spent seven years mentoring in the industry and shadowing respected names in Kentucky bourbon. MMBC now holds more than 100,000 barrels through private partnerships with distillers across Kentucky.
Boilers Bourbon connects that bourbon journey back to Smith's Purdue roots and the hard work behind the release. In the founder's words: "Built from my Purdue roots: hard work in every step. I'm honored to share this with you."
