Nux Alpina Walnut Liqueur

A longstanding tradition throughout the Alps is the annual production of a rich and aromatic walnut liqueur. Each summer the family picks fresh green walnuts from wild stands of the delicate Weinsberg variety near the village of Sankt Peter in der Au. These walnuts steep for months in Weinbrand (a 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.

The result is a rich and flavorful walnut liqueur that is not overly sweet, perfect after dinner, in coffee, cream or egg drinks.

Since 1932 the Purkhart family has produced award-winning eaux-de-vie (brandy or brand), schnaps and liqueurs. Renowned for his exacting standards and consistent quality, Gnter Purkhart has taught distillation technique to many of today’s leading producers. Capturing elegance of ripe fruit and authentic regional tastes is a family passion.
