The Story of Apologue Saffron

This liqueur celebrates the spices that were once the world’s currency. Apologue, based in Thornton, Illinois, sources its saffron from Rumi Spice, a Chicago B-Corporation founded by U.S. military veterans to create jobs for women in Herat, Afghanistan. The saffron threads are macerated in non-GMO grain spirit with green cardamom, coriander, turmeric, nigella seed, golden raisin, curry leaf, lemongrass and orange peel, then sweetened with organic cane sugar.
