Who makes best cinnamon?

submitted over 8 years ago by dmurphy4Mixologist

I tried flavor apprentice "Cinnamon Red Hot" at 6%. It does not seem to have a good, spicy, natural taste. Recommendations?

A quick search of the Flavor reviews in the sidebar brings up a few good candidates. The review for FLV Rich Cinammon is pretty bang on, in my opinion. It's the best cinnamon I've ever owned. Be warned though - it's VERY strong. I suggest making a 10% dilution (mix 1g FLV Rich cinnamon into 9g of PG), as it makes it a little easier to work with.

Then you'll be able to avoid the experience I had of completely transforming a nuanced Blueberry pancake recipe into a cinnamon incense stick.

I fear that I may have just done this with a spiced cider I just mixed for some folks. Cinnamon incense stick. Lol. I'm hoping it steeps into something tolerable.

1 drop in some coffee lingers FOREVER.

Second this. FLV Rich Cinnamon is THE most accurate I have ever tried. It's expensive, but it's also super potent. Use it between 0.15-0.30% in a recipe.

It appears that FLV Rich Cinnamon is the winner. I will have to try it out. The Blueberry pancake recipe sounds good. Care to share?

I'll share, with the caveat that I don't view this as fully finished. It still needs work. Neither can I take any real credit for this, as the base and much of the profile was ripped directly from this amazing Key Lime Pie Pancake recipe by u/joesphaa.

With that said, here it is:

Super quick notes: I'm interested in how blueberries mix with cinnamon and maple here. Also using lemon sicily to push the berries to the front of the profile.

| % | Vendor | Flavor | |------|--------|------------------------------| | 0.5 | FA | Bilberry | | 4 | TPA | Blueberry (extra) | | 1.5 | FLV | Cream | | 2 | FLV | Cupcake batter | | 0.5 | FA | Lemon Sicily | | 0.1 | FA | Maple Syrup | | 0.5 | FA | Meringue | | 1 | CAP | New York Cheesecake | | 0.25 | FLV | Rich Cinnamon (10% dilution) | | 1.5 | CAP | Vanilla Custard | | 0.25 | INW | Waffle (yc) (5% dilution) |

I really enjoy CAP Cinnamon danish swirl, its spicy rich but also have some bakery notes to it, so it needs to be in that kind of recepies, but it's really good with bakery and apples like FA Fuji or CAP Double Apple

I second this as something that doesn't give a crazy cinnamon taste, but does give an authentic cinnamon taste

Its definitepy not a straight up cinnamon, but is really good if you want a sweet buttery cinnamon taste in a bakery-ish mix. I absolutely love it paired with ry4s or certain fruits (peach cobbler yasssss)

I like this stuff but it always tastes like plastic if I go over 1% or so.

Have you tried Cinnamon Roll Apple Danish by /u/ID10-T ? It uses it as high as 6 and it's delicious https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/10613

If you like that one, try this similar but even better recipe: Returnity's Cinapple Fritter.

Flv rich cinnamon is my favorite! I usually pair it with cap cinnamon Danish swirl to give it a little more depth.

FLV Rich Cinnamon, hands down. Super concentrated but oh so tasty.

If you are looking for a hot cinnamon candy, TFA Cinnamon Red Hots is what you want.

FA Cinnamon Ceylon is good, but similar to FLV Rich Cinnamon, very strong.

FLV rich cinnamon at .25-.5% will give you more than enough real cinnamon taste.

FLV Rich Cin - Easily. Arguably Flavorah's best flavor. Ie a definitive version of a flavor. The Cap V1 Custard of Cinnamons.

One of the few places I can say nothing touches FLV's rich cinnamon, it probably takes all of the cake as far as best cinnamon flavor and is actually worth the price.

Flavorah Rich Cinnamon for the win. However, Cinnamon red hots is a nice vape standalone at 10%. I f you like the cinnamon gum, that is.

Tfa horchata is super cinnamony.
