s guate Tröpfle “Hazelnut” Hazelnut Liqueur. Nut liqueur made from freshly roasted hazelnuts, 29.1% vol, 200 ml – from Durchhausen.

s guate Tröpfle Hazelnut Hazelnut Liqueur is a nut liqueur from the liqueur manufactory of Andrea and Oliver in Durchhausen, in the Tuttlingen district. Freshly roasted hazelnuts as a base, prepared by hand, 29.1% vol, 200 ml in the bottle. No added flavoring, no coloring, no preservatives – the roasted aroma comes from the nut itself.

Hazelnut Hazelnut Liqueur from s guate Tröpfle is a liqueur for which roasted hazelnuts are steeped in alcohol until they have released their aroma – maceration, by hand, as with all liqueurs from Durchhausen. The producer roasts the nuts themselves and freshly, and that is what makes the difference compared to many other nut liqueurs: as stated on the manufacturer's website, the liqueur reveals its roasted base in the aroma alone. On the manufactory’s homepage, it is described as velvety and nutty, perfect as a digestif; with us, you can get it in the house’s 200 ml bottle.

Roasted hazelnut in the aroma, full-bodied and not too sweet on the palate

The liqueur smells of freshly roasted hazelnuts, just like a kitchen when nuts are in the oven. On the palate, it is intense, harmonious, and full-bodied, with a sweetness that the producer explicitly describes as not being too sweet.

The fine but intense nut aroma lingers, accompanied by a slight fruitiness that the producer attributes to the nut itself. At 29.1% vol, it is the strongest liqueur from s guate Tröpfle in our assortment – the alcohol carries the roasted aroma and allows it to take center stage. Anyone expecting a creamy nut liqueur with cream will get something different: a clear, amber-colored liqueur where the nut speaks for itself. According to the manufacturer, the alcohol content can vary depending on the batch; the label is authoritative. The liqueur contains hazelnuts and sulfites.

Slightly chilled in a shot glass, with espresso, or over ice cream

Unlike the house’s wine-based liqueurs, the producer recommends serving this liqueur slightly chilled, in a shot glass, in good company. Two centiliters after a meal, ideally alongside an espresso – roasted aroma to match roasted aroma.

For dessert, it pairs well over vanilla ice cream, in chocolate mousse, or in the batter for nut cake. A centiliter in coffee replaces syrup. The producer asks that the bottle be stored in a dark, upright, and cool place; once opened, it belongs in the refrigerator and should be finished within a few weeks because no preservatives are used. With 29.1% vol, the liqueur is a spirit: sale to persons aged 18 and over only.

Our tip: Serve the liqueur after Sunday dinner with an espresso – two centiliters chilled in a small glass, accompanied by a piece of braided yeast bread or nut cake.

Self-roasted nuts, artisanal work between the Black Forest and Lake Constance
