Following the launch of our 2022 vintage Nocino after a year resting in steel, we rested 100litres with Ruby Port Cask chips for a further three months, culminating in the second aged spirit from The House of Botanicals.

Though walnut liqueurs are known across the world – as Brou de Noix (France), NutZino (New Zealand), and Nucata (Romania) – Nocino (pronounced no-CHEEN-oh) is most commonly associated with and consumed in Italy as a digestif. It is believed to have origins in the northern and eastern parts of the Kingdom of Alba (now Scotland), with the earliest records linked to the Pictish people who consumed it as a restorative tonic, for its perceived medicinal qualities, and as a digestive aid.

Produced with Green Walnuts from Potash Farm in England, our 2022 vintage was macerated in alcohol for no less than forty days, before being seasoned with natural Coffee Beans, Star Anise Pods, Cloves and Demerara Sugar, then rested for a further six months with Ruby Port Cask chips to create a pepper, dark fruit and bittersweet liqueur.
