Mouth Feel - No discernable throat hit. Smooth through the nose, throat and lungs.

Flavor Properties- Creamy, milky, vanilla, cinnamon-ish, rice pudding

Relatable Flavors - This is just like drinking real life horchata. For those who don't know, horchata is a cinnamon-vanilla rice milk drink. At 5%, I get fairly mild notes of spices, milk and a touch of vanilla.

Off Flavors - Nothing particularly off about it. No chemical aftertaste or smell.

Position In The Recipe - This will work as a delicious base note. I could see people using this at about 5 or 6%, then using fruits, vanilla, creams and other spices to help bring out that realistic horchata taste.

Pairings - Vanilla, cream, nutmeg, custard, fruits, pumpkin, coffee, the sky's the limit!

End notes - This is a really good flavor. It's relatively sweet, creamy, milky and is the foundation of a good horchata flavor. As a standalone, I would vape it at 8% (trust me, it's really good!). As an accent, I would start around 3 - 4%.

Sounds tasty! have you tried this in any custard recipes?

No, but when I was thinking of what to pair it with, I could imagine it going so well with CAP Vanilla custard. IMO, custard is severely overplayed, especially when paired with fruits. I would imagine pairing it with cinnamon or something like horchata would really take that profile to a whole different level. :)

True. I'm working on a spicy custard right now and making a move towards more cinnamon. I might have to pick up some Horchata, then.

Custard and fruit does seem over played, though... That's why I'm also trying a custard tobacco. Super weird so far. Fruits are just easier to work with.

One of the vendors (i think charlie noble) does a pretty good rendition of bacco and custard. I think its called smoked custard.

Horchata smooth TFA is by far the best horchata flavor I've used flavor west just kind taste like pure cinnamon to me but as with everything that's subjective

Unfortunately, my vendor doesn't stock Horchata or Horchata smooth so I can't compare.

Fair enough, does TPA not deliver to your area? I have the FW and TPA horchata I guess I'm gonna have to give FW another shot perhaps I over did the amount I put in I'll give the ol' 5% a shot thanks for the review man

International shipping takes awhile to reach, plus it's costly. I get most of my flavorings from a local vendor.
