A seasonal favorite. Green (young) walnuts are hand-harvested in the PNW from our friends at Foraged and Found and delivered to us overnight. We cut each nut in half and macerate with 8 other ingredients including citrus peel, allspice, vanilla, and cocoa nibs for 3 weeks in non-GMO neutral grain spirit. We strain and proof to 40% abv and barrel-age for a minimum of 10 months to one year. During this time the flavors mellow and concentrate to reveal a very nuanced and balanced tincture. We strain out of the barrel, filter, and sweeten with organic cane sugar. It’s bottled at 22% abv at around 40 cases a year (we’ll make more next year). This rendition of the classic nocino is a less spice-forward, more complex, and less cloyingly sweet tipple. Imagine that maple syrup and vanilla extract had a baby… that’s our nocino.
