Tasting Notes:  Right in the heart of bourbon country lies the bucolic Abbey at Gethsamane, home to cheese and fruit cake-making monks and the one-time home of Thomas Merton, one of America's intellectual giants. If you are visiting any of the countryside distilleries, it's worth a stop, as the chapel itself is a true place of respite among Kentucky's rolling bluegrass. And NOW, just a few hundred yards down the road you can pay a visit to Wally Dant's latest project, the Log Still Distillery, home to several brands, one of them a 4 yr wheated bourbon aptly named Monk's Road. The 94 proof offering was contract distilled to their specifications and presents a fantastic combination of high florals and heavy leather. On the palate, an initial sweetness gives way to strong oak, lots of spice, and a mellowing, complex fruit finish.
