In this special edition of Film & Whiskey, Bob sits down with Logan Welk, President of BR Distilling and Blue Note Bourbon, to catch up on what’s been happening with the brand since their last feature on the show in 2020. From new expressions to expanded distribution, Logan shares insider updates on Blue Note’s rise in the American whiskey scene.
But the conversation doesn’t stop at bourbon. Logan also joins us for our recurring segment, My Favorite Movie, where we ask guests to choose a film that has stayed with them over the years. Logan’s pick? Ron Howard’s space-race thriller, Apollo 13 (1995)—a gripping, patriotic, and emotionally charged retelling of NASA’s most famous near-disaster. We discuss the film’s realism, performances by Tom Hanks and Ed Harris, and why it still resonates nearly three decades later.
