Apologue was founded in 2017 by Robert Haynes and Jordan Tepper, and crafts quality liqueurs with extreme transparency—somewhat of a rarity in the realm of herbal liqueur producers—resulting in deeply complex, tastefully savory, and regionally specific spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a bartender at some of Chicago’s finest cocktail establishments, Haynes spent years working with raw ingredients, using alcohol to extract the things that are natural and beautiful about them.

Constructed with a bartender’s approach for seamless, intuitive integration into cocktails, each liqueur Apologue makes strikes a balance between fruit, root, herb, and bark, and is designed to inspire imbibers and bartenders alike, especially those without access to an abundance of fresh seasonal produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally focused on regional, often overlooked ingredients found in the Midwest—botanicals people may have heard of but may not have easy access to—Apologue now works with farms around the world to responsibly source rare or unique ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed for the moral fable or allegory, Apologue thoughtfully approaches all aspects of production guided by the simple desire to be good to the communities with which they collaborate.
