Top Shelf Bourbon Essence Flavours 2.25L

Good product

I use this to create a raspberry/bourbon glaze for my grilled burgers and other smoked/grilled items and it works great! Good in a peach glaze too.

I love this stuff! I quit drinking 10+ years ago. But I miss the taste. Not the effect. Ha This doesn’t have the burn but the flavor is totally on point! Just mix it with a little coke and bam! Whiskey coke alternative! I would highly recommend. I’d imagine it would be good for making whiskey BBQ sauce to but never tried it that way personally. Just like to sip on my 0% whiskey cokes

This is great in spirits, it's not perfect, but it isn't bad by any means. If you are ordering this to mix with water to make NA bourbon: don't, it's terrible for that. If you enjoy making your own wine or beer, you could try mixing this in. I used it on some cider I made and it worked fairly well.

Great stuff! Add it to cola and it really makes you think you're drinking a bourbon and cola.

This tastes nothing like bourbon. My wife and I both thought this stuff was awful, even in a coke. We eventually had to throw it away. When I purchased this, it was falsely advertised as a 2.25L bottle. Even the sticker says 2.25L. I checked the website and it never mentioned that this bottle was only 50ml. It appears that they finally updated the description. Unfortunately, that does not help the taste. I would not buy this again.

Not sure if it's the vodka I used, the barrel or the essence, but 5 months aged in an american oak mini barrel, color is spectacular, the taste is unbearable. I mixed to specifications, used decent vodka, not bottom shelf, barreled, kept in a controlled temp environment around 55-59 degrees for 5 months. Not sure where it could have gone wrong...oh well.

Smells like bourbon, and isn’t overly alcoholic in nature, but is far too sweet. Makes things taste more like caramel, which was not the goal.

Initially I used this as directed. And was disappointed by the flavour. Which was weak to say the least. So already having potentially wasted a bottle of neutral spirits, and thinking I might not do the same again, I kept adding this until it approximated bourbon. Which happened to be half way down the next mark which indicates how much to add to a 70cl bottle. So I'd say you can make two bottles not three as stated. Not a bad taste once you get the dosage right . But still more like generic off brand than top shelf. Decent with cola not great straight
