Apologue

Based in Thornton, Illinois, just over the southern border of Chicago, Apologue specializes in the sweet and spirited art of liqueur production. Founded in 2017 with a mind towards sustainability and community, Apologue sources whenever possible from local growers, is Non-GMO Project verified, and has met the rigorous standards necessary to become a Certified B Corporation.

Designed with a bartender’s approach for seamless, intuitive integration into cocktails, each liqueur Apologue makes strikes a balance between fruit, root, herb, and bark. With the Midwest as their backyard, Apologue crafts the highest quality liqueurs with transparency—a rarity within the realm of herbal liqueur producers—resulting in deeply complex, tastefully savory, and regionally specific spirits.
