Throat Hit 1/10

Flavor Properties

Sweet & sour plum flavoring with a light hint of smoke, giving it Contrast and just the right amount of sour to set off sweet notes. This one definitely has unami sweet savory and delicious.

Relatable Flavors

This reminds me of eating prunes, a great Plum flavoring that is dry and sweet.

Off Flavors

Sweetness dissipates quickly, and you're left with a dry bitter aftertaste, not unpleasant but I didn't feel was a little off.

Position In The Recipe

As a accent should really help dry out a recipe, adding savory too sweet flavorings, and provide contrast. Can also work well as a base note to build on.

Pairings

Other Stone fruits, berrys, tropical fruits, tobacco's, bakeries, and other Savory flavors such as INW shisha Rosemary.

Oooh, interesting, I bet this with Shisha Rosemary or Zen Garden would be pretty interesting! TY for the review. I've heard the smoked plum is a note in the INW Black for Pipe, but haven't tasted smoked plum by itself to confirm or deny

Not getting a lot of smoke off of this. When I tried black of pipe it was super smoky. No way I could distinguish whether the plum was really in there or not but I'll try.

Right on, yeah lol that black for pipe is pretty smokey. I still need to provide steep notes on it since it's been 3 weeks now. Looking forward to the taste but not looking forward to having to clean my atty out after lol.

Ooh might have to pick this up. Maybe make some thing like a plum and cherry pie.

I've been looking for a sour/tart flavor to round out my vast collection of sweet dark berry concentrates. Would you say this is more sweet or more tart? Do you have any other suggestions for a tart flavoring that isn't lemony/limey?

Better sweet and tart 1:1:1 what I am like the most about this flavor is how it drys wet flavors out.

Thanks I just added this to the cart. I feel re-envigorated about mixing again finally. I lost a bit of that initial excitement about mixing for a while, but with all these notes i am seeing now I am definitely ready to jump back in.

Your welcome I think culinary experience definitely helps we're just dealing with totally different ingredients and technique isn't quite as big as a deal as it is with cooking

Yeah i figured as much. Cooking is a passion of mine and I feel like it definitely helps to be a bit more creative in mixing.
