LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A former UofL basketball star is partnering with a local four-legged celebrity on a new bourbon.

Russ Smith and Ethan Almighty are working with Mr. and Mrs. Bourbon Company on a rare bourbon release. 

The bourbon has been in the works for more than six months and will feature Ethan on the label. 

The single-barrel bottle will be released on Jan. 26 during a special premiere at Patrick O'Shea's on Whiskey Row.

All proceeds raised will go directly to Ethan Almighty and the work he does in the community.
