It's finally time for the infamous bomb episode.

The gentlemen take a break from Whiskey to take a stroll down memory lane and share their favorite shots/bombs and share the stories behind them.

Can they handle the liquor? Are they comprehendible by the end of the episode? Who brought the most disgusting bomb? You'll just have to listen in order to find out the answers.

Whiskey enthusiast, Merrick Aiken, joins the guys today and brings two whiskeys for them to enjoy! This whiskey holds a special place in his heart as Catoctin Creek Distiller is from a small town near where Merrick spent several years of his life, Purcellville, VA. Get your note pads ready as this is part history lesson, whiskey lesson, and so much more, in one.

The guys are back and trying out another whiskey. This time, they're making up for the non-whiskey that JJ brought to celebrate Evan's entrance into fatherhood. They're tasting Green Spot Irish Whiskey and talking about how the podcast, and more specifically, whiskey, has helped to create deeper connections with those they may not have known so well before.

On this episode the guys welcome friend and Powerlifter Jason Traister. Jason brings one of his favorite Texas whiskeys, a Balcones Single Malt Whiskey. This one put some extra hair on their chest as they talked about life as a Powerlifter, why Jason loves Texas whiskeys so much, and why this one is extra special to him!

The fatherhood episode makes a quick turn south when the gentlemen discover that what JJ brought to celebrate the birth of Evan's baby, wasn't even a whiskey. It takes them a while to figure it out, and it's the first 'whiskey' that they actually decide can't be consumed.

Have you ever thought about the history of Tennessee Whiskey? Where it all came from? How it started? You may not have ever really given it a second thought, but Uncle Nearest Whiskey is on a mission to change that.

The story behind this whiskey is one that is extremely special as it introduces us to a man named Nearest Green, who was the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States. Nearest went on to become the master distiller for one of the biggest brands in the U.S, but you'll need to listen to the podcast to hear the whole story. Plus you'll learn that not only does this whiskey have an amazing history, it has an amazing taste as well!

Another episode to help stir up some college memories, and remember a time when life may have not been quite as easy. Or at least a time when money wasn't flowing as easily as it is now. Evan brings Kentucky Dale to the table from his beloved Louisiana to remember a time in his life when he was barely living above the poverty level, but he was solely focused on pursuing a dream.

The guys talk about those harder moments in life, taking chances, and fearing failure, and what it means to sometimes have these reminders of a more simpler time.

It's Evan's turn to bring the whiskey to the table, and we're talking about growing up. Jameson is the whiskey that helped Evan actually realize his 'type' of alcohol that he liked vs. drinking just to get drunk. In this episode the guys discuss palettes and how they figured out what they prefer when it comes to all different kinds of drinks, but most importantly, whiskey.

What's the whiskey that will always be in your cupboard?

Is there a liquor or drink that reminds you of your parents or family gatherings?

In this episode of Whiskey Fit, it's Evan's turn to bring the whiskey to the table, and Makers Mark is the one that brings him out of adolescence to adult hood. The guys talk about those moments in life, bonding with an older generation with alcohol, and when alcohol began more about enjoying and less about getting drunk. Plus, they talk a lot of about shots, with a promise of an upcoming Whiskey Fit, Special Edition Shot Episode.
