Help Us Make Spirits Bright
Our annual stocking drive is underway, supporting three single-mother families in West Chicago who are facing tough seasons.
Stop in, decorate a stocking, and tuck in a donation. We’ll use every dollar to purchase gifts directly from each family’s wish list—and we’ll proudly hang your stocking for all (including Santa) to see.
Even better: Lou Kopinski will MATCH all donations before Christmas.
A small gesture from you can bring a big lift to families who need it most.
The Gift of "Spirits" is just Right
Treat the bourbon lover in your life to a custom-engraved Elijah Craig Small Batch 750ml bottle—a smooth sip and a personalized keepsake all in one.
Make It Yours
Each bottle can be engraved with up to three lines of text (16 characters per line), perfect for heartfelt notes, inside jokes, or a little holiday swagger.
Pick-Up Event
Swing by on Friday, December 12th from 6–8PM for our Engraving Event & Elijah Craig Tasting. It’s the ideal moment to grab your bottle and enjoy a guided bourbon experience.
Pre-Order Pricing
• $42 online
