it’s quite good. but you need to use only very little.

aye that’s way too much. it gets the marzipan taste if you go above, say, 1%. i use it now and again to add to a tobacco mix. it does the job.

apart from that one the only other i have is INW cherry juice. which tastes like a cherry juice drink, the watery kind with added sugar. it is quite realistic for what it is. but it doesn’t taste like a cherry, per se.
i’m drinking some sicilian wine as i type this that has a wee cherry note. i’ve also had coffee beans that had a distinct cherry flavour in there. the elusive cherry turns up at times when you don’t expect it.

is the flavour of a fresh cherry actually quite subtle? i’m thinking it is, and that the experience of eating a cherry is a combination of several things, this subtle flavour, slight tartness, the mouthwatering sensation and the texture and juiciness of it. maybe this is why it’s not easy to replicate artificially, especially in the form of vapour?
various kinds of preserved cherries, or ones that have been cooked with sugar, might accentuate the cherry flavour, and this leads to the flavourists over egging certain aspects of the cherry flavour - that they find in these more strongly flavoured altered cherries - in an attempt to make a punchy, bold cherry flavour, but that are not actually very much there in an individual cherry, and this leads to the disappointment, marzipan/bitter almond etc?
