DIY Flavoring Notes
Irish Creams:
LA Irish Cream:
NOT SAFE TO VAPE! Not water soluble. Tastes awful- sawdust and old fryer grease.
(7.09)
HS Irish Cream:
Not Irish cream. Like butter on an old piece of white chocolate. Very thick, heavy, buttery cream with little vanilla. Chalky. Slight sourness on the end.
(8.45)
CAP Irish Cream:
Not authentic. No whiskey or alcohol bite. Fluffy vanilla cream with waxy chocolate. A little chalky.
(10.57)
TFA Irish Cream:
Pretty good. When steeped with the lid off similar to their Kentucky Bourbon with their Bavarian Cream. If not steeped without lid has very strong alcohol note.
Tested at 3%
(12.55)
FLV Irish Cream:
Tasty but not authentic. Coffee most prominent note- dark roast. Coffee, chocolate milk with marshmallow. No booze. Really creamy. Complex for a SF. Good saturation.
Use around 1-2%.
(15.36)
FA Irish Cream:
Pretty good. Fairly authentic. Woody, boozy, whiskey type top notes. Soft, sweet cream base with a little vanilla- thick but a little dry. Touch of coffee and/or slightly bitter dark chocolate note.
Use under 3%- gets harsh and chalky. 1.5% full flavoured after steeping.
(19.03)
Miscellaneous:
German Flavours Whiskey:
Whiskey is bad. Whiskey with enough ethyl maltol that it actually tastes like cotton candy. Chemical off note.
(22.14)
INW Whiskey:
Main note is slightly rancid butter. Non alcoholic whiskey flavouring. No alcoholic bite.
(24.57)
INW Irish Coffee:
Also has strong butter note, although less prominent than INW Whiskey and less rancid. Non alcoholic whiskey flavouring, really sweet, no booze. No coffee. Thin.
(26.24)
FW Whiskey:
Pretty authentic whiskey but tastes like dry dog food in the base.
(27.55)
FW Fireball:
Similar whiskey note to their Whiskey. Really sweet, candied version of a Red Hot. No heat. (31.07)
FA Whiskey:
Does taste like whiskey. But a little mossy. Decent booze note but could be stronger. Earthiness that’s a bit too strong. Prominent fruity sweetness- apple juice and cherry?
(32.30)
Bourbons:
OOO Bourbon Whiskey:
Has all the elements of a good bourbon- warm, boozy, sweet, smokey. But also extremely waxy.
(35.03)
MB JD Whiskey:
No booziness. Odd meaty off note on top- like ground beef. Pretty sweet whiskey flavour. Top heavy, finishes weak.
Tested at 3%. Steeped for 5-6 days.
(35.56)
WF Bourbon:
Lacks smokiness of bourbon. More Irish or Canadian whiskey. Really smooth. Almost creamy mouthfeel. Very sweet. Oddly thick for a liquer. Very pleasant. No real alcohol bite, but bit of warmth.
Use around 2%. 3% strange wood off note & astringent.
(40.41)
Top Flavours of Each Category:
VT Scotch Whiskey:
Really cheap scotch. Overly mossy. Not as smokey or toasty as it should be. Good alcoholic kick. Not too sweet. Not very warm, almost cool.
(44.38)
PUR Tobacco Bourbon:
Doesn’t taste like tobacco or bourbon. Molasses or dark brown sugar with something like peanut butter with a little oak behind it. Really nice as a SF.
(46.55)
VT Irish Cream:
Authentic Irish cream. Actually boozy. Fairly thick, sweet cream. Very similar to FA Irish Cream, but slightly better. Slight coffee note on the finish.
(48.26)
VT Bourbon:
Quite thin and top heavy. Oak note, but not charred. Sweetness is a touch fruity. But has a really great alcohol bite. Great for giving other flavours realistic booziness.
(51.14)
FLV Bourbon:
Lacks some sweetness of bourbon and booziness, although has some bite. Great charred, oak barrel flavour. Has some body and depth. Not unwelcome chocolate note.
(53.10)
TFA Kentucky Bourbon:
Very versatile. Can use to warm a mix up, cook fruits, as a bourbon/ whiskey. Not very authentic, but makes it versatile. Authentic sweetness. A little boozy. Like bourbon that has been cooked. (56.25)
INW Godfather:
INW says it’s a whiskey and Ameretto. Pretty good. More of a brandy. Nice booziness. Cherry/ almond note and sweetness that leans towards an Ameretto.
