Overdue Visit/ before dinner drinks
Been wanting to visit this place after hearing about it 2 years ago. There aren’t many local Rum distilleries in the Chicago area that are at least noteworthy. I never hear anyone talk about how great Two Brothers’ liquors are for example. I came to Star Union Distillery with in laws and in laws for a before dinner drink. Ambiance was nice, relaxing, and interesting due to the historic Westclox location and the decor to match. Staff were friendly and attentive but mostly I noted a sense of pride about the product they are producing here. Beyond the rum they have Agave liquor, Brandy, Grappa and Vodka. They then raised the bar by creating a large menu of craft and classic cocktails to sample their products. When visiting Peru this should be a stop to savor the past and present of what this community has to offer as you go on your way to dinner, dancing or enjoying the scenic attractions nearby. *Please drink responsibly* and take a few bottles home like we did.

Fun experience with some interesting information learned
Being a relatively new operation, was surprised at the list of spirits, and I tasted a few having an unexpected private “lesson”. Beautiful venue using part of the original Westclox factory (started in 1800s, very employee minded having such as a bowling alley for them!)…part of the original bowling alley floor was the counter! One item I learned….to be an aged rum, can be but one minute! “Double barreled Traminette brandy….a grape for wine which is distilled becomes a brandy(750-$75). I didn’t care for their brandies. Tasted the Navy strength dark rum which lead to quite a chat and learned how that name got to be…and of the 17 spirits ( had a nip of 10). When open, Nextdoor is the Westclox small museum which offers a free look.
