Description
This single botanical spirit draws its flavour from just one ingredient: the needles of the Douglas Fir. We harvest the needles in early summer. By meticulously applying our high fidelity distilling system; The Triple Technique, we deliver the true taste of this tall giant of the Hepple woods. A surprising explosion of refreshing pine and sweet ripe melon, with undertones of grapefruit zest. A spirit of exceptional freshness and purity.

- Perfect in a Douglas Fir Sour or as a tasty alternative to Gin with tonic.
TASTING NOTES
ON THE NOSE
On the nose arrives an immediate fresh sweet and mellow Douglas Fir fragrance underlined with complimenting lemon citrus sour notes.
ON SIPPING
The initial taste is an unexpected explosion of sweet ripe melon continuing into tropical fruit joined with undertones of grape fruit skins. The mouth feel is rich, tingly and luscious.
THE FINISH
Pine, melon and grapefruit sings out the long and lingering mouthfeel with bright sweet freshness.

Absolutely delicious!! It tastes like frosted pine needles with a punch. DIVINE! – the most perfect Christmas tipple with ice and fever tree tonic. Thanks Hepple.
