Sterling Cloud Flavors Reviewed by SessionDrummer -- Testing Now

Does JD Whiskey taste like I think it does?! I’d mix your recipe minus the JD and have myself a blast by the looks of it!! :muscle::metal::metal::muscle:

These were my notes from when Noted dx did whiskey. I just happened to need a spice, nut or booze and thought it might work well with the sugar cookie for a “crust”/bakery. I

JD Whiskey MB 3%

MB JD 3% very mellow with not much bite or boozy-ness. Not Jack Daniels, but has some dark sweetness that would make is seem like a Jack Daniels but without booze. This seems like it’d be good for desserts. No off notes, it’s useable 6/10

I also needed a strawberry so I thought sb cheesecake would fatten up the custard a bit without being completely intrusive with SB. The klp smells great, and on the back of my hand this tastes like it’ll come together nicely. I’ve been so used to sft’ing flavors before using so mixing this blind felt weird lol. If you do mix it, let me know how you like it. It’s not public yet, but after I see what tweaks it needs it will be.

SD have you by chance ever done a comparison of Sterling Cloud Graham Cracker and the Real Flavors Graham Cracker? Yes I’m on a quest for a Smore’s. Trying out a few new flavor’s and some new combo’s.
To me they do seem almost 99.9% identical in both flavor and mouthfeel, though I know that to me the real flavors graham cracker has a ceiling of about 1.5-2% before it starts to become weird, and we both tested the Sterling @ 2.5, I found it to be a perfect fresh GC.
I also tried it @ 2.5 and then paired it with 0.5% FW Vanilla Butternut. It was simply sheer graham cracker perfection!!!

@McDuckie I’ve never done a direct A/B comparison of the two, but it would be interesting. When I tested the Sterling Clould GC I did rate it up very high, and did place it in the same rare-ified airspace that the RFSC GC held, because they are pretty similar. The RF might have been a touch darker, maybe a hint more of the slight boozy-ness, and maybe a little more malty than the SC. Very similar though. I might have to side by side them, just to see, once and for all.

I was pretty pissed when they disappeared from Amazon.
