Who adds some for 'mouth feel'?
What's your experience.......I.e. What drink do you add it to and how much?

Use with care. Supplies are not consistent and toooooo much is yuk. Once added it cannot be modified.
Also has a sweetening effect.

Add by syringe 2.5ml per 5l is normal max.

Bench trialing is safer.

Not something that I use often, but I used some earlier this year in an orange spirit that I made. I then finished the job with a little Maple syrup, similar effect, with a subtle flavour boost.
You should not find it needed in any liquer where sugar has been added.
Or any neutral.
Whisky/whiskey shouldn't call for it.
It is one of those things that is worth trying if you feel that what you have made is lacking "something".
Very subjective...
There are no rules.

Worth a try. It might work for you.

Also good as eCig juice.

Be aware the stuff in the cake isle is very much thinner than the proper stuff that you buy in larger quantities online.

My commercial duty stuff was a bit thick for e-cigs back in the day that I did, cutting it with 93% helped but it had no flavour.
I never saw sense in buying in flavour to add to base essence.
It was really cheap to buy in flavoured ready to use stuff from China.
Same pollutents/poisons anyways.

Okay, we have your e-cig report.....How far off is your 'personal lubricant report'.... ;)
I seldom take myself seriously....

Just rub it on, wherever needed, seems to work for me :D
