I was a member of a cocktail club at one point, so have lots of other bitters on hand.
I haven't tried a Douglas Fir bitter, but in regards to a forest influence product, I did just buy a German honey that is described as "Dark Forest" honey. Nice pine aspect to the honey, very different that the usual honey I buy. (Mrs Willie was not a fan)

Angostura & Peychaud's are the go-to, always have both on hand.

The Douglas fir bitter that I have is the Woodland Bitters from Portland Bitters Project. I bought it to make a spin on the Negroni together with St George Terroir Gin (one of my all-time favourite gins), Cynar, Zirbenz stone pine liqueur, and lemon peel. Woodsy flavoured food and drinks are definitely an acquired taste that is not for everyone! To me, that forest honey sounds excellent.

Last night Mrs Willie & I enjoyed Negroni Sbagliato
A classic negroni contains equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. The sbagliato contains equal parts sweet vermouth, Campari and prosecco.
We tweak the recipe and use 1 part Sweet Vermouth, 1 part Campari, 2-3 parts prosecco as who wants leftover prosecco?
