Every summer, green (young) walnuts are hand harvested in the PNW from our friends at @foragedandfoundnyc and delivered to us overnight. We cut each nut in half and macerate them 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 25% abv, and available at select retailers in September. Our 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. #facciabruttospirits #facciabrutto #nocino
