Bourbon will be the flavour, we use our old internal names on our recipe database… I can remember what they are

Strawberry Biscuit (FLAVRZ) 8% (5-28-23) – Butter, Biscuit, Strawberry, what ELSE could you need ?? Hopefully not much, because THAT is what this one way. Now, the good thing was, none of the three was overpowering, no salty bisquik biscuit, no greasy over butter, and no out of place candied SB here. The SB almost fell behind the other two, but only just. Because the SB was a little lighter, I couldn’t be 100% sure if it was a jam or not (Spoiler, FLAVRZ SB Jam is up next), but it played nice with the other two. The biscuit was present enough to know it was there, and the butter, while clean, accented it nicely. At 8% it was full, but not screaming in your face loud. Sweetness was a little below mid level, and there were no clear off-notes. The SB could maybe have used just a bit more, and maybe a bit more tarty jammy-ness to help it break through more clearly on the finish, but that was about the list of my “shoulda, coulda, woulda”-s. If it wouldn’t have slowed me down, I would have added a touch OF the SB Jam, JUST to see, BUT, gotta stay ON mission. Beyond wanting to tweak the SB just a bit, I got a minor muddled dark(er) note on the finish, and couldn’t fully identify it, but it was only minor. Not quite a one-shot, but still pretty good. Minor take-offs for the slight lack of SB pizazz on the finish, and the darker end note, and that was it. Tasty, just not completely jammy. It felt fairly placed at 8.9/10.

would suggest to add in some Super Sweet @ 0.1% - 4% to amp up the notes you are after.

That’s a good one!! :drooling_face:

Haven’t put this down, the tester won’t last 24hrs…

That cheesecake base has worked across 3 different mixes for me now, cheers :beers: @Jetz gone through this one the quickest.

Yes it just a little tweak, you will find that increasing the Boysenberry by a couple of percent will also make a beautiful cheesecake. Love the recipe by the way, would not have though to put a little Honeycomb in there… NIIIICCCCEEEE!!

Yes @Jetz that one WAS delicious. Unless I’m mistaken, the Blue Fairy Floss IS called Popcorn for anyone who is looking to mix it 1:1.

Strawberry Jam (FLAVRZ) 8% (5-28-23) – OK, now we’re cooking with some Jammy Jam Jams. Right away the jammy-ness was very present, and as a whole, it seemed more present than the regular Strawberry. What was interesting, was that it was below mid-level sweet, which you could easily do, if you needed to. It’s nice it wasn’t sickly sweet out of the gate. The strawberry notes were fresh, and rich, but with a fairly jammy slant. It ranged full range from low, mid, and high notes, and had a slightly sweeter finish, than a tarty one. Like the previously tested FLAVRZ Strawberry, it felt like it was missing a little pizazz on the finish, and this time, I’ll take @Jetz’s advice, and see if adding a drop or two of Super Sweet improves that. There was an underlying richness, that was almost buttery, and I’ve gotten this from another SB Jam before, and it works. Very subtle, not overpowering, but it added some richness to the jam notes. At 8% it was strong but not overbearing, and no off-notes to be found. After adding two drops of SS to the tester bottle and re-filling, the SB pizazz did increase, and as expected, it got stickier, and jammier, so it was easy to push into that. All in, a good Jammy SB, and from the MFG it lacked a little punch on the finish, but a dash of sweetener picked it right up. Jamming this one at 9.0/10.

Done just mixed a bigger bottle.

I’ve never been afraid to chuck something in to see what happens.

I can see this going in Chocolate Milk for a Crunchie Milkshake :drooling_face: I make a Banana Cake with in crushed up in yummo.

I tried redskins reloaded yesterday (couldn’t help myself about 12 hours after mixing). It was underwhelming to soft in flavour and the sharpness was still there. Tried again this morning and it is coming along nicely - it needs a steep imho. The peacharine and raspberry are playing together nicely. Right now it is better than any others I have tried and I think it will get better. Copied below from review I left on the recipe….

Very good redskins vibe after a day of steeping, Fruity raspberry without sharpness and a touch of creaminess underlying the flavour. I have made a number of redskins recipes over the years and used one shots but this is so far the best I have tried. I suspect it will improve more in another day or two as the custard does its magic. Really good mouthfeel as well, like the liquorice black straps it leaves a nice aftertaste like you ate the real thing - I think it is the marshmallow custard.

Hey Jetz I noticed that the Marshmallow cream is out of stock. Do you think it’ll be back in stock soon? Making a short list of flavors to try.

In case you missed it @Jetz :man_shrugging::slightly_smiling_face:

Having a cream in the recipe it will need a good 48-72 hours to reach most of the flavour profiles. Then it will continue to develop further and hold there about that time.

It is a combination of Fairy Floss (FLAVRZ) and the Marshmallow Custard (FLAVRZ), percentages will make different chewy, candy feels.

PS note that if you use a EM it will mute the flavouring out. Why there is a sucralose sugar in it.

Yes it is very good and one of our best sellers in a ONE SHOT

What the video on 4PHAT about the Peanut Butter Cookie, if you are using low wattage you will miss half the profiles… He explains the wattage thing.

That juice is running 30% total flavour in a 70/30 base

Sugar Cookie (FLAVRZ) 8% (5-29-23) – This one presented as a delicious Sugar Cookie, with an outstanding Vanilla accent. A little butter, a little bakery, and just overflowing with the Vanilla. The bakery wasn’t overly grainy, so there was no “grit” to it, more of a light bakery note, and the butter was fairly obscured by the vanilla, but still just barely present. Sweetness was at about mid level, and there were no off-notes, and, it felt pretty damned tasty at 8%. It was hard to fully define just the vanilla because it was so expertly crafted in with the bakery and butter, but it seemed to favor a mid to brighter vanilla. No spicy-ness, or darker tones, so it was a brighter, cleaner sugar cookie if that makes sense. It also had an almost “creamy-ness” to it, but that could have been the butter/bakery in disguise. All in, there was NO mistaking it WAS a sugar cookie, and a bright, clean one at that. About the only take-off would be a very slight almost sourness on the finish, but even that wavered in and out of perception, so it was minor at best. About the only want, might have been to have a little more “bakery” or “grain” to bolster the cookie part JUST a smidge more, and to give it some weight. All in however, it was a crisp, clean one, and it felt very good at 9.4/10.

Toast Coconut (FLAVRZ) 8% (5-29-23) – This one turned into a mystery of sorts, as I was having a hard time trying to figure out exactly what it was trying to be. Def. a coconut, but I wasn’t getting dry, flaky, or toasted from it, but more of a juicy coconut in coconut milk perhaps. At 8% it was actually quite good, with no oily-ness, suntan lotion, etc, and it was about mid level sweet. Sweetened coconut in a can perhaps, but the “toast” or “toasted” completely evaded my tastes. It leaned more artificial than natural at maybe a 80% artificial / 20% natural ratio. When I think of a toasted coconut, I think of a dry, flaky, coconut with darker toasted notes, but that was not what I got. Not bad, not bad at all, but not really a toasted coconut. No off-notes, which can be hard to do with coconuts, but kind of off base as far as the name, so despite liking it as a sweetened coconut in milk, will have to down rate a little. Leaving this one at 6.5/10.

Oooo that’s a low score 6.5, I was interested in that one too. I bet it could be useful if you paired it with Desiccated Coconut.

@McDuckie that’s very possible. All I can report on is solo results. I’ve had numerous flavors that didn’t score very high solo’d that worked out VERY well in recipes.
