Douglas Fir
Anyone try douglas fir tips as a flavoring for gin/genever? Wondering how you used them and how it came out. I'm going to try a separate maceration/redistillation with the tips in the boiler and see how it goes. Will use to blend if ok.

Re: Douglas Fir
Used to hunt mule deer in the Cascades. A Blue Grouse flew up into a tree so I knocked him down with a .22 and took him back to camp. That's when I found out that they feed on Doug Fir tips. Might as well have been chicken soaked in turpentine.
I imagine anything else that comes near Doug Fir tips would likely taste the same.

only one thing come to mind from trying a similar commercial product. TURPENTINE

Good grief. I'm laughing my ass off. Universally panned by all respondents.
