TOP 10 Extract alcohols! Which one taste the best and will be the top one in the blind tasting?

[@mrsclaybuster25]

Loved the results of your Blind taste test….now I’m upset I used the expensive Grey Goose for my first try at extracting, Now I know, Thank You! 😊

I can get the Captain Morgan’s at my local grocery store for 7.50 each when I buy 4 bottles.

[@deanneporsch2199]

It’s gonna be a LONG 4 months Shane. So excited to see what the results will be. That’s a lot of work to pull this together and much appreciated!

I don't know where you live but, if you're ever up in NH, be sure to stock up while you're here. All of our liquor stores are state owned so they get great prices and all alcohol is TAX FREE. There are often great sales and discounts for bulk sales ... at least for wine, not sure about liquor.

Kirkland has two different vodka’s, the red one you got is $20 (red) but the other one, still 1.75L, is $15 (blue). To me it also taste so much better. I love it.

[@AznRyda001]

lol you should see Canadian prices with the us exchange rate

[@cindyfraley8796]

Thanks for doing this, you just make all of us better vanilla makers 😁 Thank you for your hard work , I can’t wait to find out , because I love the coconut rum vanilla the best too 💜

[@ashawise3685]

Thanks for doing this taste test. Can’t wait to see the vanilla results from the blind taste test. I went with Smirnoff for my first making of vanilla extract for the same reasons you mentioned.

[@ClementFamilyFarms]

Thank you. The smirnoff works ok I did use it for years before I knew better and it made good extract but it doesn't make great extract. But this is how we learn and how we grow.

[@deniserichardson2902]

Thank you!

[@ClementFamilyFarms]

You're welcome!

Ive made some with svedka vodka. So far i liked it. I’ve also used captain morgan white and coconut runs as well.

Becky from Acre Homestead loves using spiced rum. I sure would like to know where you get Kirkland Vodka for $20... where I live in Northern VA, it's $50.

[@ClementFamilyFarms]

I know each state treats alcohol different and have different taxes on it. Our Costco here in Ca. had the Kirkland french vodka for $18.88 earlier this year but now I think its around $21.

[@elizabethpepper6809]

Still under $20 for the French Kirkland vodka in Columbia, SC, and under $15 for the American.

What is your ratio of yogurt , sugar and vanilla for your taste test?

[@ClementFamilyFarms]

1 cup of plain Greek yogurt to 2 tablespoons of white sugar.

Question: What kind of gloves are you wearing when working with vanilla beans/making extract?

[@ClementFamilyFarms]

I use these gloves. amzn.to/3zcgRYl

[@Mandy_39]

Anybody else get peppers from the Everclear? That would be a huge no for me if it comes through in the vanilla lol! The wait for this is going to take forever lol! Ty for doing this though, I'm definitely curious about the results 😁

[@cindiatwell3478]

What is your most used alcohol base?

[@ClementFamilyFarms]

For me I only use the Captain Morgan 70 proof coconut rum for almost everything. But the second best for me is the New Amsterdam vodka proofed down to 70.

[@clairehebert2135]

I don't drink at all so have to depend on info. My oldest son suggested New Amsterdam so I'm glad it is one that is favored. Question.... I've made two batches, I do shake every day or so, left each for over 7 months. They're good but I've never split the beans. Some I would gift to I know wouldn't appreciate the " specks". What's the opinion about leaving beans whole? Thanks

[@cliffp73]

Your beard is way too distracting. Hate you did it, I actually watched some of your older videos.

[@fludrbywest3886]

I would have to order it buy it by case I guess if the parrot 🦜 bay 90proof won’t do.

[@ClementFamilyFarms]

Parrot bay 90 is just fine to use but I would drop the proof down to 70 before using it. You will get a better extract
