Distiller Notes
Every spring, right after Cinco de Mayo, BroVo takes a trip to the woods. They cut about six inches of new growth from young trees and take no more than one-third of any tree. They cut all the spring buds off - this is what has the flavor that is wanted - and infuse them into vodka. After the infusion they re-distill the base, sweeten it with agave nectar and proof it with water. That's the Douglas Fir batch for the year.

First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
