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.
