In this week's episode, Zeke tries to use his brain too much by making both of John's blinds much more complicated than they needed to be. Either way, the Dads compared Cooper's Craft to Michter's Toasted Bourbon in a blind and had a second blind of Old Forester Original Batch, Bottled-in-Bond, and Prohibition Blend.
