Description
Bourbon Whiskey Flavoring delivers a deep, smooth, and slightly smoky bourbon taste with warm oak, caramel, and vanilla notes. This concentrated flavoring is available in Oil Based and PG Based options, making it suitable for a range of beverage, dessert, confectionery, savory, and specialty applications. It brings recognizable bourbon-style character to recipes without the alcohol content.
What Does Bourbon Whiskey Flavoring Taste Like?
Bourbon Whiskey Flavoring has a rich bourbon profile built around three defining flavor notes: oak, caramel and vanilla. The oak gives it a warm, barrel-aged character, while caramel adds depth and sweetness. Vanilla rounds out the profile with a smooth finish, complemented by a subtle smoky note.
The result is a bourbon-inspired flavor that works particularly well with rich dessert flavors, dark chocolate profiles, caramel-based recipes, beverages, sauces, and other formulations where a warm whiskey character is desired. The flavoring is designed to mix into both hot and cold applications and dissolve smoothly for consistent flavor distribution.

How to Use Bourbon Whiskey Flavoring
Bourbon Whiskey Flavoring is concentrated, so it should be incorporated gradually into the recipe or formulation rather than used by itself.
- Start with a small amount in the recipe or formulation.
- Mix thoroughly so the flavor distributes evenly.
- Evaluate the bourbon character after mixing.
- Increase gradually if a stronger bourbon profile is desired.
- Follow OOOFlavors' usage guidelines for application-specific recommendations.
Because this is an Oil Based flavoring, the formulation should be appropriate for an oil-soluble flavoring.
