Episode Synopsis

In this episode of High Proof Ashes, we’re diving into two bourbons we handpicked during our Kentucky Bourbon Festival trip — both crafted by the team at Log Still Distillery in Gethsemane, Kentucky.First up is a Monk’s Road Wheated Single Barrel, bottled at high proof — something you don’t see often in a wheated expression. It’s smooth yet bold, showing off Log Still’s classic balance of sweet grain, oak, and spice. Then we move to Rattle and Snap, another Log Still label that brings a brighter, fruit-forward bourbon profile with a lively finish that keeps things interesting.To go with these bottles, we’re lighting up the Micallef Black, a surprisingly budget-friendly cigar that punches well above its price point. Wrapped in a dark Nicaraguan Maduro and blended for medium body, it delivers rich espresso and cocoa notes that match beautifully with both pours.Join us as we talk tasting notes, the story behind Log Still’s resurgence, and why this small family operation is making big waves in Kentucky bourbon.
