Our flagship: roasted hazelnuts, raw honey and warming spices over a wheat spirit. Smells like a holiday cookie, drinks with far more intent.

Slightly Sinister. The Original.
Made in Bellingham since 2014, and still the bottle Washington reaches for first.
Krampus is the Alpine anti-Santa. Saint Nick rewards the nice; Krampus deals with everyone else. We figured a holiday liqueur with a little menace deserved his name. This is the bottle that started the whole Krampus collection, and it is still made by hand at our distillery on Cornwall Avenue.
Whole Hazelnuts, Roasted First.
We start with a wheat spirit from Pacific Northwest grain, then steep whole roasted hazelnuts in it. The nutty depth comes from real nuts, not a flavoring.
Those nuts bring their natural oils along, which makes every batch slow to filter. We do it anyway, because you can taste the difference in the glass.
Raw Honey, Orange Peel, Warming Spice.
Raw honey gives Krampus its body and ties the roasted nuts to the orange peel and warming spices. It smells like a holiday cookie, but at 80 proof it drinks like a spirit, not a syrup.
In the glass: toasted hazelnut and honey up front, orange peel and spice through the middle, and a smooth, warming finish that hangs around.

Very happy with the product!!
Thanks, Hector. Great to hear you’re enjoying Krampus. Cheers!
Very smooth and sweet. A lot better than any other herbal liquor I’ve had. Can’t wait to take this to the family in Germany
Thanks, Mark! We love hearing that. Krampus has its roots in Alpine folklore, so it’s especially fun to know a bottle is heading back to Germany with you. We hope your family enjoys it as much as you did. Prost!
My mother said she liked Krampus but Krampus didn’t like her 😂
Thanks for the review, Janine! Krampus' love can hurt sometimes... Our condolences to your mother :)
This holiday season is purchase a bottle of Krampus to celebrate the season,
After seeing it on a Instagram ad.
I do not consume alcohol that often
Maybe once every 3 months or so i will have a drink or two max.
I waited till Christmas eve to Crack open my 750ml bottle of krampus liqueur and made the noggy by nature eggnog drink and krampus Cafe drink they listed on there site.
Both were really good but the noggy by nature drink i thought tasted so good I could not stop making them.
Making 2 a day from Christmas eve all the way to New Years eve and now I have only a 3rd of the bottle left.
Very good especially if you like eggnog.
I have tried rums and bourbons before in eggnog and was never really satisfied
But the Krampus was like wow!
Definitely picking up another bottle from them before Thanksgiving 2026!
John, thanks for sharing this. We love hearing that Krampus Herbal Liqueur became part of your holiday tradition. The Noggy by Nature eggnog is exactly where Krampus shines, with its honeyed warmth and roasted hazelnut flavor doing what rum and bourbon just can’t. The fact that you don’t drink often but kept coming back to it means a lot to us. We’ll be ready for you when Thanksgiving 2026 rolls around. Cheers!
Good stuff
Thanks, Roland! Appreciate you taking the time to email us your recipe — whipped cream vodka, Krampus, and Irish cream is a great combo, and the marshmallow with cinnamon garnish is a perfect finishing touch. Glad you’re enjoying it, and thanks for sharing.
I love the Krampus! It is warming and sweet and has that spicy edge! It’s a great winter time drink! And perfect for the Krampus himself!I highly recommend it for something different and perfect for the winter time!
Janice, thank you so much for this. We love how you described it as warming and sweet with that spicy edge. That is exactly what we were aiming for. And yes, it feels like something the Krampus himself would approve of. We really appreciate the recommendation and are glad it found its way into your winter rotation.
Hard to explain. So I'll write this. It tastes like christmas in a bottle.
Kevin, this made us smile — thank you. “Christmas in a bottle” is exactly what we hoped people would taste. Really appreciate you sharing that.
bought for my husbands birthday he loved it
Hi Deonna! We're thrilled to hear your husband loved the Krampus Herbal Liqueur. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Really good ill be buying agIn few marine buddies liked it allso
Glad you enjoyed the Krampus, Charles! Thanks for sharing your experience.
This drinks like a warm hug on a winter's night. I love it.
You should write our product descriptions, Scotty! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Krampus is the best for the holidays but also just for sipping and enjoying the flavor. Had other liquors from chuckanut (absinthe, espresso), and I think this is the ultimate best seller.
Thanks, James! That's high praise. Great to hear that Krampus has become a favorite not just during the holidays, but year-round. Thanks for your support and taking the time to leave a review!
Great taste,especially at Christmas time. I think it would be awesome if you posted drink recipes. I know it would be great in a cocktail. I'm not sure what to mix it with.im not a mixoligist. Highly reccomend
Thanks, Chet! We're glad you enjoyed it. We actually do have a growing collection of cocktail recipes on our website here: https://krampusspirit.com/blogs/drink-recipe. The TLDR, though, is Krampus plays especially well with apple cider, coffee, bourbon, ginger beer, and citrus. Thanks for the recommendation, and cheers!
I was surprised at the flavor. Very strong spice. Will be a good add to winter holiday drinks. Looking forward to adding it to warm apple cider.
Thanks, Dan! Krampus is definitely spice-forward, and we're glad you enjoyed it. It's delicious in warm apple cider - one of our favorite winter options. Cheers, and thanks for the review!
Amazing, automatic, brings me back to vacations in Paris and Lyon.
Thank you - so glad to hear it brought back good memories!
Unique flavor - a glass of smiles.
Glad you enjoyed Krampus! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Krampus did NOT disappoint! A very warming, spicy medley of flavors evocative of the holiday season. I particularly enjoyed making cocktails with Krampus, adding that "something special" that my guests enjoyed very much. I'll look forward to keeping a bottle of Krampus on hand in my home bar.
Thanks for this, Mark. We’re so glad Krampus earned a spot in your home bar and that it shined in cocktails with your guests. That “something special” is exactly what we hope it brings. Cheers, and happy mixing.
Honestly I bought this as a novelty to put out for shots during the holidays. When it came i opened it up and it smelled amazing. So I poureda shot. It is so good. The flavor just screams celebration. Everyone who has tried it has loved it. Fortunately I bought two bottles for now!
Ah, that's great to hear, Jim! Thanks for letting us know. Cheers!
Finally got to sit down and try this. Man talk about a unique taste, its blended perfectly. It's nostalgia of Christmas in a bottle. Sit back watch the snow fall from the windows , listening to the crackle of thefireplace . This is the true drink for Christmas. Ya just gotta love Krampus.
Thanks for the great review, J. You could write our ad copy! Glad you enjoyed Krampus - cheers.
Great straight-up or on the rocks.
Agreed, Brian. Hard to go wrong with straight Krampus :)
UPS destroyed my shipment, but the people at Krampus immediately reshipped my order for free and I received it very quickly. It is absolutely delicious by itself, and makes wonderful mixes with eggnog or cider. 100% recommend this dink, as well as the customer service.
Thanks so much for the kind words, and for your patience with UPS! Glad we could get a replacement out quickly and that you’re enjoying Krampus (especially with eggnog or cider). Appreciate the recommendation and support! 🔥
Perfect all by itself
Aahh. As are you, Laura. Cheers!
Krampus does it again
Thank you! Glad Krampus delivered.
I didn't know it had cloves in it not a fan of cloves. Tasted good in warm raw apple cider.
Thanks, Ben. Yes, clove is part of Krampus’ alpine spice profile, but we’re glad you found it enjoyable in warm apple cider.
I found Krampus Liquor to be very enjoyable. I first tasted hazelnut; with touches of cinnamon & honey. I tried, as you suggested with eggnog. It was so delicious and different. It truly is a great addition to my holiday.
You certainly nailed the key flavors, Rock. Glad you enjoyed it and particularly pleased it's become part of your holiday tradition!
Easy process from start to finish
Good to hear. Thanks, Keith. Enjoy!
I bought it for its name, will repurchase for its taste. I'm not a regular drinker -but I do enjoy a pull or two occassionally and Ilove how this tastes. Smooth and distinct.
Came for the name, stayed for the taste. That is our favorite kind of review. Thanks, Bryan!
