>>191367in my native region (west-Austria) we have a tradition of making pine liqueurs and spirits, specifically swiss-pine
I dont think they are exported much, considering that the cones used to make it have to be harvested by hand and most of our swiss pines grow in the alpine region
Im not sure if this sort of thing has any tradition in the americans, but I can only recommend it, the taste can vary from slightly sweet to dry-spirit depending on the making, but its always a treat
it smells like pine forest and it tastes like drinking the mountains and the trees
if you can ever get your hands on well made pine-liqueur, give it a try
