Never-used Specific Mechanical 1000L distillation equipment.  Bought this equipment back in 2020 but could not get the business going.  All the parts / pieces are there - including the boiler.  Never been assembled and never used - just covered in 5 years of construction dust.

Bottom line - I paid over $200,000 for this equipment in 2020.  I need this equipment to move quickly, and it's ready to ship immediately.  Asking $110,000 - half off the original purchase price.  Shipping cost not included, but all the equipment is still palletized in a warehouse in Great Falls, MT.

The equipment list follows.  Read through it and contact me via email or phone if you're interested or have questions.  Jeff Miser - 406-750-9700 or jeff@mountainwavedistilling.com.  I prefer to sell the entire system and not sell the equipment piecemeal, but I'm open to conversation.  I'm pro-craft-distilling - definitely - so if you're interested, we'll try to find a way to make this work.  Regards, and cheers,  - Jeff
