Just four ingredients- Douglas fir spring buds, Neutral Grain Spirit, agave nectar and water.
Opening a bottle is like taking a hike in the forest. It’s clean and fresh, light and herbaceous. We usually get asked what else is in it that gives it that flavor. It’s the tree, that’s all. This is what Douglas fir taste like.
Douglas Fir
Our Douglas fir is foraged from the side of Mount Baker in the spring on land that was clear cut 5-7 years previously, and replanted with Douglas fir trees.
Every spring, right after Cinco de Mayo, we take a trip to the woods. We cut about six inches of new growth from young trees and take no more than one-third of any tree.
We cut all the spring buds off- this is what has the flavor we want and infuse them into vodka. After the infusion we re-distill the base, sweeten it with agave nectar to 20% sugar and proof it with water.
