Nux Alpina Walnut Liqueur
Walnut Liqueur (Nocino-Style) | 32% ABV (64 Proof) | 750 mL | Austria | Grape Brandy Base
Process & Profile
Nux Alpina Walnut Liqueur is an Alpine-inspired walnut liqueur made by the Purkhart family in Austria. It starts with double-distilled grape brandy (Weinbrand), then steeped for months with fresh green walnuts, followed by a finishing period with spices and alpine botanicals. The result is a rich, aromatic walnut liqueur that stays balanced and not overly sweet, making it a strong after-dinner pour and an easy upgrade for coffee and dessert-style cocktails.
