It is here, along the rutted country lane to the old homeplace, where we now forge a new road at Log Still Distillery. To christen the journey, allow us to introduce Monk’s Road.

Our first offering of Bourbons and Gins that embody a true reflection of our most sacred values: faith, family and community. So, with a respectful nod to the past, we propose a toast — to the road ahead.



Fifth District Series logo

With the Monk’s Road Fifth District Series, we tip our hat to the historic tax district of Central Kentucky, deeply seeped in bourbon lore. With this rotating series of hand-selected spirits, we honor a long line of rotating bluegrass-inspired bourbons created with the same ingenuity and fortitude made by many generations of Kentucky distillers.

So, just this once, let’s celebrate the taxman.

Cold Spring Distillery

Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey



The first release of our Fifth District series pays homage to the retired Cold Spring Distillery. This historic distillery in southern Nelson County, Kentucky was located on the property that is Log Still Distillery today. When you visit our campus, you will be able to see one of the natural springs flowing across bedrock just as it did for Cold Spring Distillery many years ago. This 6 year old Single Barrel bourbon masterfully mixes notes of corn, rye and malted barley for a product that rekindles the spirit of yesteryear.

F.M. Head Distillery

Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey



The Fifth District line of Monk’s Road Bourbons is a limited release series of rotating spirits that pay tribute to the historic distilleries of the fifth tax district. Our second release in the Fifth District Series pays homage to F.M. Head Distillery, which our DSP number 47 is derived from. This expression honors F.M. Head as an exceptional 8-year-old high rye bourbon finished with a secondary toasted barreling.

Wheated Bourbon


We are excited to introduce Monk’s Road Kentucky Straight Small Batch Bourbon where we use wheat as the predominant secondary grain. This creates a sweet and smooth product that’s approachable and balanced. Notes of vanilla and cinnamon spice marry with the dried cherry to create an approachable, warm product that takes you back home.

Barrel Finished Gin


Utilizing our bourbon barrels, we handcrafted this barrel-finished gin in homage to the rolling Kentucky hills we call home, allowing fresh botanicals coriander, cranberry, juniper, and nutmeg to develop and mature into the perfect flavor profile. Smooth and complex with a subtle hint of smoke, Monk's Road Barrel Finished Gin reflects the pride of the place and tradition that the Log Still family is known for.


Dry Gin


Our essential gin is a unique offering from the Kentucky hills of Nelson County, with a delicate balance of distinctly complementary botanicals. We've married watermelon rind with zests of orange and lemon for a bright and fresh flavor-creating the perfect gin for all seasons and palates. Sip it slowly and neat or dress it up in a cocktail. This palate pleaser possesses an air of refinement.

Cold Spring Distillery

This first-release 6-year-old single barrel bourbon pays homage to the retired Cold Spring Distillery, a historic distillery founded in the 1800s on land where we are currently located in southern Nelson County, Kentucky. The Cold Spring name harkened back to the spring where, even in the summer, the water stayed cool enough that the distillery could continue to operate.
