Flavor Properties
A nice sharp herbal basil flavoring, uniquely earthy and savory, definitely has a fresh and bright Garden basil quality to it, also has very light floral notes. This is a extremely realistic flavoring and has fantastic umami.
Relatable Flavors
This is a completely unique flavoring and dead on perfect representation fresh basil. If I was trying to describe it without saying basil I would say it's like mint without the mint if that makes any sense at all.
Off flavors
Nothing really off here but it is worth mentioning requires a long steep at least 10 days before that green flavor like fresh-cut grass dissipates.
Position In The Recipe
Should work well as a base note in any savory recipe, or a top note in any sort of dessert or Bakery recipe.
Pairings
Creams, tobacco's, other savouries such as Rosemary,spice flavorings, and bakeries.(I think you'd be really surprised how awesome a little basil is on a donut.)

Notes
I tested this at 0.8% first with about a month long steep and was surprised I really couldn't taste the flavor.
Here is a Wikipedia on basil if you're interested in learning, more and where are you can buy this fantastic flavor.

Strawberries and basil go very well together.
I totally forgot dark berries thanks
Yep – great flavor when used very sparingly. Too much and it will taste like chicken bullion.
