Notes:
J. B. Dant & Co. listed from 1912-1917.

Joseph Washington Dant ran a small still in Dant, Kentucky as early as 1836. He had seven sons, one of whom was J. B. (Joseph Bernard).

J. B. Dant is suggested to have built the Cold Spring Distillery at Gethsemane around 1865 (Downard, 1980) or 1880 (Cecil, 1999).

On June 30, 1881, Dant purchased F M Head's distillery and the "F M Head & Co." brand from Head. He paid $4,000 for the distillery and began distilling the next year, but shut down operations in March and sued Head for selling him a bad batch of whiskey which he claimed discredited the brand and the still's output (court records, 1893).

Most of the whiskey sold from his more successful operations was through Taylor & Williams of Louisville. He later took a position with and ultimately assumed control of Taylor and Williams and was joined in its running by his six sons. Dant retired in 1935 and is credited with introducing the Yellowstone brand later acquired by Glenmore (1944).

Brand names used by this company include: "Cold Spring", "Dant Club", and "Nelson County Club Pure Rye."
