Jw Dant Bonded Bourbon

Description

Joseph Washington Dant was a well-known Kentucky distiller who in 1836 gained a reputation for making his whiskey using a log still. For those not versed in the distillation arts, thats essentially a hollowed out tree trunk with copper piping running through the center. The logs would then be filled with mash and steam would run through the copper pipe for the distilling process. Dant would go on to own a proper distillery some 40 years later, and generations of his family would continue to work in the industry. Eventually, they would honor his legacy with a bottle bearing his name in the late 50s. The brand would stay in the family name until Heaven Hill purchased it in 1993; the bottle has stayed in Heaven Hills core lineup since, though it is no longer made in a log.50% ABV, 100 Proof
