Startup Distillery coming to Nelson County By Nicole Burton/Jack Mazurak Frankfort, KY - Gov. Matt Bevin today announced Log Still Distilling LLC will construct a premium bourbon and rye whiskey operation in Nelson County with a $12 million investment that could create as many as 20 full-time jobs. Log Still Distilling will establish a campus on Dee Head Road (Gethsemane) between the communities of New Haven and New Hope to include a distillery, bottling operation, rickhouses and visitor's center, which will offer a gift shop and tasting room. The property has a long history within Kentucky's bourbon industry, as owner J.W. "Wally" Dant's family has operated multiple distilling operations in the area since as early as the 19th Century. "We are very pleased to be back in our family distilling home," Dant said. "Importantly, we want to thank the Governor and the commonwealth for assisting us in developing our project and ensuring our rich Dant family legacy. We need to further credit the J.W. Nalley family who preserved much of the former plant, which we will work to renovate into the new distillery." "Bourbon and Kentucky have a rich, shared history, and we are glad to work with a company that wants to tap into that legacy by building a new business in the commonwealth," said Gov. Bevin. "The arrival of Log Still Distilling signals exciting growth in the industry and reintroduces the Dant family's historic involvement in Kentucky's long line of distilling operations. This is tremendous news for the people of Nelson County, and we look forward to the start of operations." The Dant family's ties to the community's bourbon industry date back to the 1800s, with the establishment of Joseph W. Dant's first distilling operation under the J.W. Dant brand. The Gethsemene property on Dee Head Road would eventually house a distillery owned by his sons in the early 20th Century. The operation continued production until the implementation of prohibition in 1920. The family business reopened following the end of prohibition eventually selling to United Distillers and Schenely. Production at the old distillery was relocated to Louisville in the early 1960s. The J.W. Dant brand was sold to Heaven Hill Distilleries in the early 1990s.
