Log Still Distillery: New Haven, Kentucky
Log Still Distillery is a bourbon distillery in Gethsemane, Kentucky, built on the land where generations of the Dant family once made whiskey. Its own press release describes the aim as bringing bourbon back to Gethsemane.
Where is Log Still Distillery?
The company's press release places the distillery in Gethsemane, Kentucky. Directory listings use New Haven, the nearby postal town. A Facebook post about the site describes it as a 350 acre property, while a company data page mentions a 300 acre distillery campus, so we have not stated an acreage.
The family
The press release says the distillery is guided by Wally Dant and his cousins Lynne and Charles Dant. Lynne Dant is named as distiller and chief operating officer. The distillery is built on old distillery land and reimagined as a bourbon and family destination.
History of the grounds
The company's Fifth District Series pays tribute to the historic distilleries of the fifth tax district of Kentucky. Its second release honours F.M. Head Distillery, which operated on the same grounds and sits in the DSP-KY-47 lineage that gives Log Still its DSP number, 47.
What it makes
Monk's Road line of Kentucky bourbons and gins.
Rattle and Snap Tennessee whiskey, including an 8 year old.
Fifth District Series II, announced in July 2023, an 8 year old high rye bourbon finished in toasted barrels, bottled at 50 percent ABV and priced at 99.99 dollars. It was due in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina.
Visiting
The distillery runs tours, and the Distillery Trail reports a bed and breakfast called The Homestead at Dant Crossing on the grounds. The press release also mentions events marking the anniversary of the distillery's first barrel fill on 20 July.
Gaps
We did not find stills, capacity or the opening year from a source that loaded, so they are not covered.
