About Nux Alpina
Nux Alpina is an all-natural walnut liqueur produced by Austria's Distillerie Purkhart, crafted from fresh green 'Weinsberg' walnuts steeped for months in double-distilled grape brandy, along with spices and alpine botanicals. Bottled at 32% ABV (64 proof), it's renowned for its exceptional balance, depth, and smooth finish without being overly sweet, earning 95 points from Wine Enthusiast for its plush, subtle profile. What makes it special is its adherence to a three-generation family recipe and traditional Alpine methods, capturing the rich, aromatic essence of green walnuts harvested near Sankt Peter in der Au—similar to Nüsse in Austria/Germany, Noix in France, and Nocino in Italy. Ideal for digestif enthusiasts, cocktail aficionados, and those seeking wintery, nutty flavors in coffee, cream, or egg drinks, it shines with brown spirits like bourbon or rye. Compared to category peers, Nux Alpina stands out for its refined subtlety and versatility over sweeter, heavier walnut liqueurs, offering premium quality at $31.76 for 750ml.
