Derek Spence
Still Builder and
Chief Moonshiner
“This is my family business, a folk tradition, and my pieces are functional folk art. I was born and raised just south of Kansas City MO where I live today. People who buy my copper stills keep an American tradition that played a fundamental roll in shaping our country alive and well into a modern era.
From all over this country people pour into my products old secret family recipes, stories of outlaw ancestry—and of a time not so unfamiliar to now. When families were pitted against strife, their own undeniable ingenuity, the law, and the Almighty dollar.
My quality products, a testament to an unforgotten heritage, will last for generations carrying on the legacy of the black sheep of one generation—to the next.”

“I purchased a three-barrel still from Copper Moon. At that time I knew very little about stills. Derek did an excellent job building my still and even taught me how to use it.
Derek knows Moonshining and is always available to answer any questions you have.
I would recommend Copper Moon Stills for any type still you may be interested in. You will not be disappointed.”
