Portet Aigua de Nodes The Water of Nodes is, to put it simply, the Aranese ratafia. A liqueur made from the maceration of young walnuts and the distillation of 21 aromatic plants, roots, and spices, to which we add a maceration of gentian root that, in the aftertaste, gives it its characteristic bouquet, somewhat bitter. It has a 29% alcohol content and 250 grams of sugar per liter. It reflects the tradition of homemade liqueurs in the Val d'Aran, where it has been made in homes for a very long time, macerating walnuts and plants in brandy. It is recommended to be consumed after a meal, cold from the refrigerator or freezer. It can be used in cooking and baking. It is highly recommended to make cigalones or carajillos.
