This may be one of my new favorite destinations on the Bourbon Trail. I've seen their bourbon and downtown tasting room For Monk's Road. That bourbon comes from this distillery. Their space is amazing and why you should really check them out. They have an outdoor amphitheater featuring a different act on a weekly basis. The space is lush, green and an incredible space to hear music. They even have a location for events including weddings. The staff is lovely and has a great understanding of the offerings and history of the bourbon itself. So check out the space and then drive by the monastery too where they get the name for their bourbon "Monk's Road." read more

Log Still Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - New Haven, Kentucky

We came here on a Sunday afternoon after visiting family at the Abbey. Great service and friendly staff. The grounds are huge. I would love to see it during a concert time. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and the bartender was even one of the Dant descendants. So just extra fun and they were willing to answer any questions and especially shared about their 47 number. I ordered the spiced revolver cocktail that was delicious and my husband had a burnt old-fashioned. read more

Our group of 11 visited Log Still Distillery on June 23rd--we call ourselves the Bourbon Brotherhood. Before our visit, most of us were not very familiar with Log Still. The majority of our group became friends while attending Purdue University together--Boiler Up! We were excited to learn that Log Still's owner, Wally Dant, is also a Purdue alumnus and has even produced a Purdue-labeled bourbon. On the day of our visit, we had spent the day touring several distilleries in the Bardstown area, with Log Still serving as our final stop. Unfortunately, our schedule made it impossible to arrive in time for the last scheduled tasting. After reaching out in advance, the Log Still team graciously adjusted their plans and stayed late to accommodate our group. When we arrived, Wally was there waiting to welcome us personally. He spent nearly two hours with us, providing an in-depth tour of the property, explaining the bourbon-making process, and sharing the rich history of both the Dant family and the property itself. Learning about the family's contributions to bourbon dating back to the industry's early days added a unique and meaningful dimension to the experience. The facilities at Log Still are truly first-class. They strike an impressive balance between honoring bourbon's heritage and embracing modern innovation. Beyond the distillery itself, the entire property has been thoughtfully designed to create a complete destination experience. It is evident that great care has gone into every aspect of the campus. The bourbon produced at Log Still is exceptional, and their gin is equally impressive. More importantly, the hospitality and passion demonstrated by Wally and his team elevated the visit far beyond a typical distillery tour. Their willingness to stay late, share their knowledge, and provide such a personal experience made this one of the highlights of our Bourbon Trail journey. A sincere thank you to Wally and the entire Log Still team for your hospitality and for sharing your passion for bourbon with our group. Log Still Distillery is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling the Bourbon Trail. read more

Pretty good tour by one of the Dant family members. The property was huge and beautifully kept. The tasting was great! We got to sample 2 gins and 4 whiskeys. Would recommend checking Log Still out if in the bardstown area. read more

They have beautiful grounds and lots going on, but neither the tour nor the tasting were worth our time. They were having a concert and a wedding so not only were we rush to leave, they didn't time the tour properly and we were rushed through the tasting. Our tour guide was nice, but lacked enthusiasm and it was like being at a mundane bookclub. To add insult to injury, nothing in the tasting stood out or was impressive.It would've frankly been better if they just didn't book the tour given the circumstances. read more

We were in the area for a concert and decided to schedule a tour at Log Still Distillery--and we're so glad we did! We've been on quite a few distillery tours over the years, and this one stood out as one of the best. The entire place has a welcoming, family-first vibe, and it's clear that it's both built by and run by people who care deeply about what they're doing. Terry Dant gave our tour, and he was absolutely fantastic--knowledgeable, engaging, and more than happy to answer every question we threw his way. His passion for the history of the distillery and the Dant family legacy really made the experience feel personal and memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed both the tour and the drinks. Whether you're a bourbon lover or just looking for a great Kentucky experience, Log Still is absolutely worth a visit. read more

My wife and I just visited Log Still Distillery today. We were amazed at the owner's vision of making the property a destination location with B&Bs, an outdoor concert venue, a fishing pond, and a tasting room. Most important is the bourbon tastes amazing. I had low expectations and walked out with a new standard of excellence. I highly recommend visiting Log Still. The next time we visit, we will make an overnight of it. I'll bring my fly rod, we'll stay at one of the B&Bs, take in a concert, and of course, visit the tasting room. Hopefully i'll see you there. read more

Meh. This place is trying, I guess. It is basically brand new but tries to look old- which is glaringly obvious in a place like Bardstown with established distilleries. We did the tasting and were not impressed. Don't waste your time. read more

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the History. Product taste great and prices are more than reasonable. Amy was our tour and tasting guide and she was AWESOME! read more

Came here for a solo tasting and had an excellent experience! Ryann was very friendly, patient, and informative! The products are beautifully presented and displayed. The facilities are clean and attractive. Looking forward to my next visit - and bringing friends/family along for the ride! read more

Poor service for the second time visiting. We will not return! Arrived about 15 minutes after opening. The bartender told us to give her a minute to set up, we wait about 20 minutes and still no service. I wanted to ask her if I could help her because she definitely couldn't multitask. We ended up going somewhere else for a simple beer read more

Before Saturday I had only been to Log Still for The Amp, their awesome concert venue. But, with a guest in town we decided to do the tour and tasting. The tour guide was very thorough! He's part of the family but has traveled and learned the business from different angles. He was entertaining and friendly. The tour itself is short but the tasting after is great! You get a flight of 4 liquors they make there: gin, barrel-aged gin, a bourbon and a Tennessee Whisky. As a devoted Kentuckian and light bourbon drinker, I was super impressed with how smooth the whisky was! Of course the tour guide goes over how to drink, how to smell, notes if things to look for. Overall, great experience! After the tasting we ordered a cocktail. The barrel aged gin old fashion was phenomenal! . L O V E D it! There were very few tourists there- it is February- but I know it is quite busy in the warmer months. read more

This was our first time to visit the distillery and I can say we were most impressed. When you enter the building the first thing you see is the tasting area. There is a massive three sided bar to sit around and enjoy a sample of their excellent varieties of Bourbon. There is a gift shop upstairs and outside seats where you can enjoy a concert when they have one. There are also very open windows that allow you to view the still and all the workings. It is a beautiful and very well done experience. read more

Informative and passionate staff and tour guide. I love how they have a rich family history and are continuing to stay competitive, but unique in an overall saturated bourbon market. No food served here , but try to catch live music at The Amp. read more

Super disappointed!!! Just spent $20.00 on an Old Fashioned that was served in a regular bar rock glass, small cubes and way too much simple syrup that masked the flavor of their $109.00 toasted oak bourbon. I tasted simple syrup and that was all. I even said light on the syrup. This is a distillery, not a bar... read more

Staff did an excellent job presenting the products. Fell in love with the barrel finished gin as I've never had gin before. Ended up buying 2 bottles that day, one being the single barrel. Loved the look of this distillery as it was very warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend coming here! read more

Our tour guide, tour, bar tenders, bourbon, gin, the facility, the tasting room we're all top notch! I definitely recommend visiting!

This was an amazing experience! The property is beautiful with award winning architecture, making each building a sight to behold. You can enjoy rich bourbons and learn about the long history of the Dant family's connection to distilling. The site has a summer concert series and "The Amp" was Spectacular. Beautiful cottages and BB's are sprinkled among the hills, lake and old oak trees! read more

Three years later . . . The grounds around the ponds are beautiful. Other than that, no need to visit. To my mind, Log Still's whiskey and gin remain some of the worst on the market, especially with the whiskey at that price. If you tell me you like Log Still's product, you're either lying or don't know what you're talking about. No problem though. Just go to the Abbey of Gethsemani down the road (see my review) and confess your sins. :) read more

We had a wonderful time at Log Still. We took advantage of their onsite Bed and Breakfast and it did not disappoint. the home was beautifully decorated, we enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch overlooking the local scenery and the bedroom was so inviting. Brenda brought us a delicious breakfast complete with eggs, bacon, biscuits and some of the best tasting gravy I've had in a long time. She topped off our breakfast with her warm, fresh made orange butter cake that melted in your mouth. Our tour with Michael was not only informative, but he is an entertainer too. The tasting was great too. He had suggestions for us after we left Log Still that were great. We will go back again. read more

MY GOODNESS. All of this and it's less than a year old? Outstanding. We came here to try some bourbon - but what we got was an incredible history lesson about a family that just doesn't quit and has invested themself fully into Nelson County. I loved to hear about Lynn and Wally's history and their love of bourbon. Michael did a phenomenal job walking us through the beginnings and we were able to see with our own eyes the progression of the vision. We were able to try the gin, barrel-aged gin, and rye bourbon. Shocked myself when I didn't enjoy the bourbon (I can't do rye) but as a non- gin-drinker I was even more shocked to find a gin I LOVED. It's the barrel-aged for me. It was heaven - and when I had it in an Old Fashioned, it was even more delightful. We won't be back to Kentucky for a few years, but we're planning on coming in hot for the wheated bourbon and restaurant! read more

The food was as expected, service was quick and friendly. Typical Chic-fil-a decoration.

My wife stopped in here on our way to the Kentucky Derby. When we arrived they had the Budweiser Clydesdales there which was neat. The distillery has an amphitheater behind for concerts which has a great lineup. The place has a modern-rustic vibe. The drinks were spectacular. We had a mint julep in honor of the derby. It was made to perfection. I wish we lived closer so we could take in a concert here. read more

New distillery right outside of Bardstown, KY in New Haven. Log Still opened in May 2021. Went for a tasting and learned about the history of Log Still.

Tour guide Cindy was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The facilities were impressive.

First visit and now I plan on visiting often from Indiana. I loved the bourbon & gin options; the people here are so helpful & friendly. The goal by the entire team is for you to have a great experience and they passed that test. The tour was interesting and fun, the grounds are huge, once they build the restaurant then this place will be perfect. Also, they have an amphitheater! I must take advantage of their concerts. Log Still even has B&Bs for overnight stays with a large pond to walk around. This place is so well thought out, the campus is impressive,I love it here. read more

We came here at the end of our day right as they were getting ready to transition into being a bar, but the staff was so nice and did a mini tasting of a whiskey flight upstairs for our walk-in group. Would love to come back on a nice day to the outdoor amphitheater. read more

Log Still Distillery - four bottles of whiskey on a table - Distilleries Near Me - New Haven, Kentucky

Yes! This is a must stop. Great gin and bourbon whiskey and excellent service. Will definitely be back asap!

I was really surprised to find a distillery that I hadn't visited before, so Linda, Nancy, and I made reservations and drove down to visit. The Bourbon and Gin were top notch, but I fell in love with the Barrel Finished Gin. I drink it straight, with a bit a lemonade, or with a bit of orange juice. Delicious. The tour was fantastic. Brandon was our guide and Cindy was also with us the whole way. Brandon was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to tour with. I would strongly recommend taking the time to drive by and check it out, but make sure you get reservations beforehand. Our visit was on 22 APR 23 read more

What a great little gem!! This place is gorgeous, amphitheater, cool bar, really pretty buildings and the view can't be beat. We were there on trivia night and had a good time playing with the locals. We each had a cocktail which were both ok- not fabulous but not bad ; pricey like everything else in the area. I think this is one of those places that will become a favorite in the warmer weather- it's truly a beautiful spot! read more

This was one of my favorites in the BT. Friendly and informative staff. Great family history, and I love that they've come back to their roots and support their local community. We discovered Monk's Road a few months ago and started recommending it to friends. Now we will recommend this experience at Log Still. read more

No food when we went on a Saturday, early afternoon. Beautiful space inside and out.
