Bourbon has paved our road for nearly a century.
Take just one sip of our spirits, and we think you’ll understand why this part of Central Kentucky is so special. After all, great distillers of days gone by, including members of our family, have proudly called this place home. Bourbon flowed freely here and paved a road to prosperity for nearly a century before Prohibition changed the tide of fortune.
Now, we’re forging new roads for generations to come at our old Kentucky home by bringing bourbon back to Gethsemane.
Guided by Wally Dant, Log Still is firmly built on faith and family. We fill each bottle with respect while honoring the history of bourbon and our family itself. Ever mindful that faith, family, community, and bourbon pave the way for future generations.
We invite you to visit us in Gethsemane. Sure, you’ll find a lot that’s shiny and new, but what you’ll feel is something deep and soulful.
J.W. “WALLY” DANT
We call him founder, foreman, and fearless leader. You can call him Wally.
As president/distiller, Wally Dant works hard every day to bring his vision for Log Still Distillery to life. And to Wally, it’s about more than quality spirits and an unforgettable destination. It’s about love of God, family, community and bourbon.
Wally Dant, founder
Wally is rebuilding and reinventing his family’s historic distillery property, the very same land in southern Nelson County where his many family members once made spirits. “To be able to put your name as a distiller on a bottle is pretty humbling.”
Log Still is Wally’s way of honoring his family and giving back to the community that he credits with instilling his family with values and love. And drawing from years of experience in the health care and liquor industries, this business-savvy entrepreneur is the right man for the job. Wally dreams big, and he won’t stop until he sees those dreams come to fruition.
If he’s not hard at work shepherding the Log Still brands, you can likely find him making garden-fresh salsa, hot sauce, ketchup from the homegrown garden, or cooking up a chef-like meal for friends and family.
