Parma violets
I did a search and only come up with a post that dissed their use as a flavouring. Has anyone successfully flavoured a neutral with Parma violet flavouring or oil ?

Re: Parma violets
Try it and see what happens.
You can do this on a really small batch.
Personally I love Param Violets - although I couldn't imagine an alcoholic drink flavoured with them.
Cola Cubes however - Yep

Re: Parma violets
I have tasted some that somebody else made and it did taste just like parma violets, I think it was made just by adding neutral to the sweets however there was a fair bit of sediment.

Re: Parma violets
I have become pedantic with some of my Apple Pie, which started as a deliberate cloudy drink.
I now spot sediment and rack it and re-rack it.
It tastes the same, but for some reason I prefer the look of the clear version.
Horses for courses.
Bonkers because I can.

Re: Parma violets
Wishing you luck with Parma violets, not to my taste at all
Apple pie? A cracking drink.

Re: Parma violets
I've looked at a few of the Apple pie recipes I may have a go at one of those ......need some more neutral at the moment though I'm patiently waiting for my wash to finish
It's been 20 days and the hydrometer is neat 1.00 but there's still 4/5 bubbles per minute coming off it .......is it worth waiting some more ??

Re: Parma violets
It does depend upon your desperation
You could rack it off now, lose a little alcohol and be distilling quicker.
