Purilum Boysenberry Preserves
submitted over 8 years ago by mysticrosellDiketones, Schmiketones

Percentage Used: 6%

 

Equipment Used: Troll RDA with a wickless single SS .8 ohm Clapton coil at 20W.

 

PG/VG: 30/70

 

Steep Time: 2 Weeks

 

Aroma: Boysenberries, sweetness, slight perfume/floral.

 

Flavor Description: This is a sweet medium strength boysenberry. It's not artificial tasting, but it's not a fresh sweet and tart berry either. The taste is a dark, ripe and juicy boysenberry that has been cooked down with sugar, like a jam or pie filling. The inhale is deep rich blackberry/boysenberry and the exhale brings the brighter notes with just a faint tang.

 

Off Flavors: None

 

Throat Hit: 4/10 It does have a just little bite to it.

 

Pairings: All other berries, apple, pears, coconut, honey, nut, cardamon, cinnamon, cream cheese, creams, ice cream, custard,cookies, cakes, pies, tarts, danishes, bakeries, tobaccos. This is an excellent choice for any baked goods as the fruit already has that cooked flavor and will blend well.

 

Notes: The floral perfume aroma present in the concentrate has steeped out, and I don't taste or smell any in this at the 2 week steep. It wasn't extremely prominent, just a hint. I recommend 48-72 hours steep at minimum to avoid it, and the slight bite from the berry really drops off after the 1 week mark. For me I think a nice strength for a single flavor is 5-8% and 1.5-3% in mixes.

Sounds worth checking out. Best boysenberry I've found is Flavour Wests but it's is far from perfect. Only a mild taste/smell from it on inhale but can smell it in exhaled vapour no problem. Trying to tie it down with creams at the moment.
