Folks are always talking about their friend who threw away a high-paying job to start a new career doing something they love - and coming up big. Derek and Sonja Kesselbaum's another couple you can root for - especially when what they've got is nothing less than love in a bottle that they want to share with you:
The lemon peels are among the ten botanicals Kassebaum uses to make his Distiller’s Gin No. 6, one of the two products he’s created thus far for North Shore Distillery, the company he and his wife, Sonja, started in Lake Bluff in October 2004. It’s the first small-batch distillery in Illinois... The centerpiece of the couple’s mostly empty 5,000-square-foot warehouse space is the custom-made 250-liter brass still they purchased from Arnold Holstein, a high-end German manufacturer. After nearly two years of research, planning, and waiting for a federal license, the Kassebaums began making their premium gin and vodka in November. They’re already in a dozen liquor stores (including Sam’s Wines and Spirits) and nearly two dozen bars and restaurants, among them Blackbird, Extra Virgin, and Saltaus.Good luck, guys!
