95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Plush, subtle and not overly sweet, this nut-brown liqueur opens with aromas of spices and spearmint. Concentrated cocoa and espresso tones warm the palate, tapering off with the faintest hint of walnut bitterness. Sip after dinner or mix with any brown spirit. Alcohol 32%. (Oct 2018)"

A longstanding tradition throughout the Alps is the annual production of a rich and aromatic walnut liqueur. The liqueur is known in Austria and Germany as Nüsse or Nüssenschnaps, in France as Noix, and Italy as Nocino. Each producer has its own signature blend of herbs and spices. Each summer family and friends pick fresh green walnuts from wild stands of the delicate "Weinsberg" variety on farmland located near the village of Sankt Peter in der Au. These walnuts steep for months in Weinbrand (a double distilled grape brandy) and for the last month with a variety of spices and alpine botanicals. For three generations the Purkhart family has produced this all-natural walnut liqueur from the same family recipe, renowned for its balance and exceptionally smooth finish.
