The common definition of a liqueur is an alcoholic beverage (typically brandy) flavored with fruit, spices, nuts, herbs or seeds. Yes our Nostalgie Walnut Liqueur fits this description on a basic level but we never do basic. We build this liqueur piece by piece with only pure, natural flavors we make and extract ourselves. The black walnuts are hand harvested, soaked in our own 12-year old Brandy for two years, creating a layered, complex extraction to which we add our family’s secret blend of herbs and spices to complete the picture. 

Mostly straight. But enjoyable in so many ways – drizzle over vanilla ice cream, freshly baked chocolate brownies, or pumpkin pie, or simply add a shot to your coffee. It’s a versatile liqueur so let your imagination run wild. We love the sound of this vintage cocktail, Angels Share, created by our friend and Bar Chef, Jacques Bezuidenhout.

Yes and we recommend it neat, no ice. We believe you want to taste the purity of our hand crafted spirits and extracts, which is why every one of our products are distilled to be enjoyed on their own, including our Nostalgie Black Walnut Liqueur. After all, our belief is that if it doesn’t taste good on its own, it doesn’t deserve to be used in a recipe or a cocktail.
