Favourite Flavourings

Postby Seagull » Fri Mar 18, 2016 5:17 pm

I see on here that not everyone is a fan of flavourings and essences but I quite like them.

I've tried the Still Spirits, essencia and Prestige so far.

Neck and neck between Still Spirits and Essencia for the few I've tried so far.

What do you guys think?

Ive tried a few prestige ones, seem to be good and oftern stretch to 1 litre, not really had a good go with the Essencia ones and only used one Still Spirits one which was today in fact, I used the Black Cherry Bourbon one, it's was very close to the RedStag Jim Beam with Black Cherries I've been buying lately.

I was always put off the Still Spirit ones by the price but I've scince realised they are 50ml and make 3 x 750ml bottles, not just one, so they work out more cost effective than the Prestige ones.

I only used just over half the recomended sugar and still found it a little too sweet, maybe the Still Spirits guys have a sweet tooth!

The SS and the Prestige Rums are both acceptable with a decent neutral, esp. if the result is drunk with a mixer.

I know what you mean about the sweet tooth. Probably my favourite so far is the Still Spirits Caramel Vodka. But I only put in about two thirds of the recommended sugar.
