This Friday evening in the Tasting Room from 6:00–9:00 PM, direct from Chicago's French Market, the famous Hill-Jacques returns with their eclectic blend of rock, folk, funk and French classics.

To celebrate the season, we'll be featuring a special menu of French-inspired cocktails available through Bastille Day. Enjoy great music, craft spirits, and a little taste of France right here in the Illinois Valley. Try a Pommeau de Cavalier Martini or a Raspberry Absinthe Frappe!

Oui oui!

Want Dad to drink like a pro this Father's Day?

Pick up a bottle of our Star Union Spirits Bar Pro Series Ready-to-Drink Cocktails for your Father's Day BBQ. These premium craft cocktails are already beginning to appear at local bars, restaurants, and attractions, and for good reason, they're convenient, consistent, and incredibly delicious.

Perfect for a hot summer afternoon, our ready-to-drink cocktails take all the work out of mixing. Simply chill, pour, and enjoy. Stop by the Star Union Spirits Tasting Room and grab a bottle or two for your celebration.

While you're here, be sure to sample our newly released Lucky Seven Year Reserve Rum. Distilled from Louisiana first-boiled sugarcane molasses, this exceptional rum was aged five years in a whiskey barrel and finished for two additional years in a sherry cask. Bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV), it delivers rich notes of caramel, dried fruit, oak, and spice with a beautifully dry, lingering finish.

You'll also find many of our customer favorites in stock, including Star Union Spirits Vodka, 75-25 Light Whiskey, Navy Strength Dark Rum, Alembic Absinthe, and Cherry Brandy.

Make Father's Day easy this year, great cocktails, great spirits, and no bartending required. Cheers to Dad!

Invigorate Libate Inclinate.

Our friends from Star Union Spirits will be here Thursday at 5PM showcasing their brand new 7YR Reserve Rum! 🥃 Crafted from premium Louisiana first-boiled sugarcane molasses, this exceptional rum is aged for five years in whiskey barrels before spending an additional two years finishing in a sherry cask!

The result is a rich, elegant, and remarkably complex spirit that balances the natural sweetness and depth of aged Gold Rum with the refined, dry character imparted by the sherry wood. Layers of caramel, toasted oak, dried fruit, and warm spice unfold across the palate, leading to a long, sophisticated finish with notes of fig, raisin, and subtle nuttiness.

Bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV), this cask-finished rum delivers both power and finesse, making it equally rewarding neat, over a large cube, or as the foundation for an elevated cocktail.

Come drink with us! 🥃💥🥃
