Description
Joseph Washington Dant was a Kentucky distiller during the 1830s He was famous for making whiskey using a log still. This was an old time method from when the settlers did not have the money for a copper still. A section of tree trunk would be hollowed out with a copper pipe running through it. The hollowed section would be filled with the fermented mash and steam fed through the pipe to start distillation. 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. 80 Proof
