The Krampusnacht Collection

Merlot Wine, Autumn Spices, Citrus, Figs, and Bonfire Smoke

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and so is everyone’s favorite holiday demon, the Krampus. Inspired by the dark folklore of this horned companion to Saint Nicholas, the Krampusnacht Collection captures the wild spirit of winter nights with a striking blend of merlot wine, autumn spices, ripe figs, zesty citrus, and bonfire smoke. Equal parts festive and fearsome, the Krampusnacht Collection is a bold, exquisite reminder that not every holiday tradition smells of sugarplums. The perfect Krampus gifts for your darkly-inclined loved one.

What Is the Krampus?

In recent years, the Krampus has become a frequent presence in holiday culture, serving as a reminder that not every Christmas story is wrapped in tinsel and cheer. This ancient Alpine figure, the shadow to Saint Nicholas, serves as a warning to children who stray from good behavior. While Saint Nick offered gifts, Krampus brought punishment, wielding a bundle of reeds and a woven basket to carry off misbehaving children. As an antidote to relentless holiday cheer, the Krampus reminds us that darkness is never far from the light.

The Krampus is often seen as the Mr. Hyde to Saint Nicholas’s Dr. Jekyll, or the bad cop to Saint Nicholas' good cop. Horned, draped in furs, and wild-eyed, he stalks the cold streets on December 5th, Krampusnacht, the night before Saint Nicholas Day, seeking out those who fall short of virtue. Yet he may be even stranger and older still, a form of the ancient Wild Man, a figure representing untamed nature and wildness, lurking on the periphery of society.
