"Has anybody used the essences for rum. I'm trying to find a product that closely resembles Capt Morgan spiced rum for my wife to drink. She's particular, but is open to ""getting used to"" something close for the price.
I'm a newbie so any help on using the essences is appreciated. thanks again!"

I'm a newbie so any help on using the essences is appreciated. thanks again! I can only comment on coconut rum. My son and his wife love this, so made them several bottles with my good neutral and some essence from brewhaus. They like it better that their rather expensive brand from the store. They have asked for more, and they particularly liked it not costing them anything. Well, they just might have to buy their own danged essences!"

"Recon this one is the 3rd genertion (maybe 4th) rum batch. 2.5 liters in glass 65% 2 alligator chared white oak sticks 4 or 5 dried apricotts 4 or 5 dried pineapple tea spoon whole black pepper zest of 1 orange pinch of black tea tea spoon vinilla extract Rest for 2 weeks then decant through a coffee filter. dilute to prefered proof. There have got to be hundreds of possibilities beyond a store bought additive. Start saving your dunder and get a real rum cycle going. It will not take that long."

I could be wrong someone correct me if so but what I have researched I've seen nothing about adding dried goods to likker. Usually only fresh, frozen, or canned. I'm not saying it wont add any flavor because I have no knowledge here.. not a drop worth in dried goods. I know I've used fresh fruit and works great.. I just can't see dried having much flavor left in it?? But what do I know.

Hmmmm..not sure on that. Know some dried fruits are preserved with some fancy version of sulphur and other exotic chemicals to help the color and keep it from spoiling or some such thing. Might want to dodge that version. Not sure it would effect flavor but might. Think some fruits are more apt to have been treated than others. Might at least start with a small test sample and see how it goes. Kindly keep us updated on what you discover about it. Thanks.

As far as dryed goods having no flavor, my spice rack tells me different.
