Karl Neubauer has been working tirelessly to get our stills fired up, putting in long hours in our still room downstairs, but there is still more to do. We need your help to get our test stills in place. While our large stills are not feasible at the moment, your help will get our 28 gallon still running in time for the very first "Spirit Release"  of a Naples' spirit, made with Wohlschlegel maple syrup, this coming March - mark your calendars! 

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to all who continue to lend a hand, their support, skills, advice, and encouragement so far. We really could not have done it without each of you. 


Let's get these stills fired up!!
