I have been frequenting this store for the past 8+ months. This place is truly a hidden gem. The selection of bourbon is both unique and fantastic. So many great and hard to find bottles sitting right on the shelf. The store picks are out of this world and could stand up to many of the highly sought after bourbons. Pricing is right on point and the staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Their social media platforms keep you connected and engaged. The owner AK is legit one of the nicest people I have ever met. He welcomes everyone into his store not only providing top notch customer service, but making you feel like family. I travel over an hour one way each time I visit this store. I could not think of a better business, staff, and owner that I could support. Customer for life!

I drive 90 minutes to visit. You are always welcome in this store and staff is incredibly friendly. The single barrel whiskies are must buys. AK is a pillar in the bourbon community and all around good guy. Stop by and talk if you have an hour or two. Shelf prices are always fair and they run an awesome raffle. Highly recommend you visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review Rockton Food and Spirits in Rockton, Illinois is an absolute gem of a liquor store. Their selection is not just impressive—it’s thoughtfully curated. Whether you’re searching for everyday favorites, new releases, or hard-to-find bottles, they consistently deliver. One of the things I appreciate most is how they keep their inventory turning. There’s always something new on the shelves, which makes every visit feel like a discovery. It’s the main reason I stop in—or check online—at least once a week to see what the team has brought in next. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’re always willing to help, offer recommendations, or talk shop about the latest finds. It’s clear they take pride in creating a top-tier customer experience, and as someone who shops here regularly, I truly feel valued and appreciated every time I walk through the door. This is, without question, the best store in the area for quality, variety, and customer service. Rockton Food and Spirits has become my go-to spot, and I’m grateful to have such a fantastic business right here in the community. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys great service, great selection, and a place that truly cares about its customers.

Placed an online order for a limited whiskey bottle that was in stock at the store. Shipped carefully and quickly, and arrived in great condition. Keep an eye on these guys!

Rockton food and spirits is one of my favorite stops. I'm frequently searching for the unicorns and rare bottles. It's very rare that I dont walk out without at least a couple bottles a visit. Its hard to find honest liquor stores that dont gouge their prices when they receive a good bottle. Their selection is absolutely amazing too.

If you haven’t been to Rockton Food and Spirits you are missing out! I live in Wisconsin, but this is my go to spot for anything bourbon. I’ve never seen a store in my area with a selection like this and it’s definitely worth the drive. Only about 10 minutes off the interstate, so it’s super convenient. They have a huge selection and AK and Chris are super knowledgeable and a couple of the nicest guys you will meet. The monthly raffle constantly has ridiculous bottles you won’t find anywhere else. Couldn’t recommend the store more. Stop in and you won’t be disappointed!

Great store! An amazing bourbon honey hole and hidden gem in wonderful small town. Very big selection of bourbon and they always have plenty of delicious and unique store picks available. On top of that the customer service is great too! Lots fun to just hang out and chat for a while too. Definitely worth the trip whenever we are in town or we can use the very convenient online ordering if we aren't.

Fantastic store picks! The palate(s) behind them have definitely figured out what to look for. Their Jeppson’s picks alone punch so far above their price point it’s not even funny. Thankful to have extra back. Knowledge, selection, and price are all worth the stop in or online shopping.

I drive over 60 miles maybe once every 4-6 weeks to come to this store… The bourbon selection is like no other. I think AK has 2.5 full aisles now of bourbon. From the basics to allocated, it’s there. Harder to find stuff in the area too, BT products, Dark arts, etc. They always have some of the best barrel picks in the area in my opinion as well. River roots picks, Green River, Four Gate, local brands picks, you name it. AK definitely has a pulse on the bourbon industry! AK and Chris are both always friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Will continue to support this place and make the drive when I can! You won’t be disappointed. Tons of selection of energy drinks too, lol, as a bonus!
