Naked Spirits Distillery sits in an industrial complex in St. Louis, Missouri, founded by Tim Piersol and his team who transformed a warehouse space into a working distillery and tasting room. The operation launched in 2014 with a focus on producing small-batch bourbon, rye whiskey, and vodka using traditional copper pot stills. Piersol, who previously worked in the restaurant industry, dove into distilling after becoming fascinated with the craft during travels through Kentucky bourbon country. The 5,000-square-foot facility houses their production equipment alongside a rustic tasting room where visitors can sample their spirits directly from the source. What started as a passion project has grown into one of Missouri’s recognized craft distilleries, with their products now distributed across the Midwest. The team takes pride in their grain-to-glass approach, sourcing corn and other grains from local Missouri farms when possible and handling every step of production on-site.
