Review
I am going to be racialist. Or is it regionalist when it’s in a positive manner? The Brits have a definite relationship with smoke houses: they stick fish in them. A few flamboyant gourmet types might venture to whack a bit of venison in there too, when nobody’s looking, but officially, it’s fish. End of. In Europe pretty much anything goes as long as the end result tastes good.
The Poles do many good things and amongst these must be included Slivovitz (Inawera do a Slivovitz flavour concentrate if you’re interested BTW). I have now sampled several Tino D Milano (Inawera’s top of range brand) tobacco concentrates and along with their sanity and good flavour they have all carried a great smokiness.
So, Poland makes a wonderful Plum Vodka and the Polish company producing e flavours produces a wonderful smokiness to its flavour concentrates when it wants to. Smoked Plum seemed a good bet to try.
And the bet paid off. I added 4 drops of Smoked Plum flavour to 5ml of my base did an accelerated steep and vaped. It is delicious.. yep at 1.6% it is wonderfully rounded and subtley plum like and smokey. It was and is, that simple.
Because it was such a wonderful vape I decided I wanted – more – so doubled the concentration ending up at a mix of 3.1% concentrate and – ruined it. There was loads more smoke and bags of vapour, but, the plum got muted and when it came through it was in an artificial sort of way. 8 drops was far too much, 6 is about right – but I will tune between 5 and 7 drops in 5ml of base as it’s good enough to merit exploration.
What I loved about this mix at 4 drops was its complexity. It was in many ways like having an analogue (is that profane?) and then distinct plum flavour would wander in mingle in the smokiness and waft off, leaving me with the smokiness. This is compex, subtle and moreish, the plum flavour is neither harsh nor ‘in your face’.
This is delicious and I have just made up a second 5ml bottle because the first one at 1.6% seems to have – vaporised.
Steeping
A little helped
Vapour
Good
Throat hit
None
Value
14p per ml and optimising somewhere around 1.5% to 2%? Brilliant
Use as a mixing ingredient
It would be sacrilege to waste this on mixing
Effects on tanks and atomizers and any known ‘nasties’
