Made by infusing a neutral spirits base with our organic estate walnuts, this blend of vanilla and spice is a well-balanced liqueur perfect to enjoy with coffee or dessert. 

Distiller's Notes

This walnut liqueur, also known as Nocino, gets its origins from Northern Italy, where unripe green walnuts are steeped in a neutral alcohol base. The Franquette walnut variety used in our Nutty Behavior is sourced directly from estate grown, dry farmed walnut trees nestled in Opolo’s westside Vineyards, which also serves as the location for Willow Creek Distillery. Using unripe green walnuts gives this liqueur a very dark and rich color, resulting from oxidation during infusion. This creates an initially bitter, but complex character. Once the desired flavor and color is reached, the walnuts are then removed from the spirit, where a dash of brown sugar and our proprietary spice blend is added to round out this liqueur with notes reminiscent of the holidays. Aromas and flavors of allspice, nutmeg, and vanilla make this liqueur widely versatile to be used in cocktails, cooking recipes, poured over desserts, or simply on its own.
