Il Mallo is a small producer of Nocino, an Italian Walnut Liqueur, dating back three generations. They are recognized in Emilia Romagna, a region famous for its Nocino, as the crème de la crème. Making the best Nocino requires generations of knowledge, as well as long aging and the right blend of botanicals to bring the final product into harmony.
Each year Roberta decides on a rum cask to purchase in order to produce a one-of-a-kind nocino finished in rum cask. Around only 220 bottles are produced each year. Each version retains the characteristic notes of the nocino augmented by those from the barrel and the rum.
The Barbados version is lighter on the palate but with no shortage of flavor. Notes of banana bread, mace and medjool date mingle with toasted walnut and mocha. A touch funky. The rum was aged in barrel for 34 years.
