Brovo Douglas Fir Liqueur

BroVo Douglas Fir Liqueur is a uniquely aromatic botanical spirit crafted by a woman-owned craft distillery based in Woodinville, Washington. Famously described as tasting like a Christmas tree in a very good way, this 25 percent alcohol by volume liqueur captures the authentic essence of the Pacific Northwest forest by using real, hand-foraged ingredients rather than synthetic flavorings. Every spring, the production team hand-harvests new spring growth buds from young Douglas fir trees along the slopes of Mount Baker, carefully taking only the top six inches to ensure sustainability. The freshly harvested buds are infused into a vodka base and re-distilled to capture a clean, pure evergreen essence that is lightly sweetened with agave nectar and proofed with water, containing no artificial flavors or extra botanicals.

The resulting spirit features a heavy, woodsy aroma with deep coniferous resin and fresh evergreen notes. On the palate, it is clean, light, and herbaceous, with the sharp pine needles balanced by a soft, earthy sweetness from the agave that reveals underlying hints of lemon zest, grapefruit, and mountain herbs. Because it leans heavily into its piney, woodsy character, bartenders recommend using it carefully as a modifier rather than a heavy base. It shines beautifully over ice, topped with tonic or sparkling wine, and pairs excellently when shaken into classic variations like a gin martini, a rye manhattan, or citrus sours made with aquavit, mezcal, and tequila.
