Decent enough and good as a base. The glycerin flavor is too prominent. If you use it at half strength and do classic style flavorings such as "medium toast" oak chips and/or a portion of a "middle cut" (no fores or feints) that is not polished or double distilled, then you wind up with a nice corn whiskey with other complex flavors. Adding medium toast sugar maple wood chunks provides some nice depth as well. It requires work to "tune" this flavor … this shouldn’t be the case with flavors. The Legend Canadian Whiskey essence "Crown Royal" copy is a better choice and requires no tuning (or very little.) This however does provide a different direction in flavors than the "Legend" and offers that full sour mash corn whiskey flavor whereas the other does not.

Not a good flavor. Very liitle to no bourbon flavor. Taste is overpowered by a strong floral essence. Very dissapointed. Tried to tune this essence up but still had no success.

Excellent review from tasters. When making my first batch of whiskey with this essence, I used just a little over half the recommended amount. After 5 months in an charred oak barrel, the flavor was excellent. Several people have tasted the whiskey and all thought it was great. When I make the next batch in the same barrel, I will use the recommended amount of essence to make up for the loss of char from the first batch. Aging in a charred oak barrel gives the whiskey a smooth taste. The longer you age, the smoother it gets. I only drink my whiskey "on the rocks". A smooth whiskey is a must. I am very happy with this product and will continue to use it.

High Spirits Turbo 48. Great yeast, got up to 10 percent after 5 days at 85 degrees. Tried to buy more and got put on a waiting list, then when some came available I tried to order again and it was out. Need to keep better inventory on hand
