Your first time visiting, you may wonder whether your GPS is properly calibrated...but though your surroundings initially appear to be very industrial, rest assured you are in the right place. Once inside, you can enjoy delicious, seasonal cocktails made using North Shores fine spirits, or do a tasting of their different gins and vodkas. The staff will leave you to your group (if that is what you prefer), or may engage you (and other groups who gather) in a game of trivia, as long as you are up for it. You will leave feeling as though youve uncovered a great secret.

What an absolutely incredible hidden gem!!! Beautiful space, and really exceptional quality spirits. Im not generally a fan of vodka, but as the oldest distillery in IL, theyve had plenty of time to get it right, and both the traditional vodka and citrus are delicious. The real treat is the tahitian vanilla vodka, both mixed and straight up. The rum is also super smooth, and aged with very creative flavors. The owners are both welcoming and friendly, and super knowledgeable. We will definitely be back.!

Stop by the tasting room here for amazing cocktails made with their own handcrafted spirits. Menu changes seasonally and with spirit availability. The cocktail list is short and sweet, but all of them are delicious in their own way. YUM.

We had the tour with Derek, one of the founders. It was wonderful to hear his passion for his product. It is top notch. Ethel is a beauty and very photogenic. Stay for the drinks as the gin and absinthe are amazing.

This place is quiet with a staff that loves their job. The way they describe flavors used makes you get a feel for the drink before ever tasting it. It is a cozy place with room to spread out

A great place to stop on a Friday after work! Great drinks & great service. The owners are friendly. Cant decide what to order? Tell them what you like & they will find a drink for you.

Had a very fun and informative couple of hours here learning from Sonja and tasting their products. Loved the citrus vodka and the absinthe. The Springtime Shrub cocktail was wonderful!

Absolutely love this distillery! The spirits are unmatched. You wont find a better gin. The owners are knowledgeable and very personable. My favorite distillery in a 4 state radius.

Excellent premium vodka. We purchased a bottle. We had a tasting of spirits also and each one we tried was great. Were looking forward to returning again.

A great place to have a traditional cocktail, and unlearn whatever negative opinions you may have of gin, because the number 6 gin is amazing.

Great place to have an event, all the woodwork is beautiful. Sonja is very knowledgeable about the booze and knows how to serve it!
