Flavor Essence Toasted Almonds: Fresh, almost sweet nutty aromas --without any sugars. Darker roasted almond flavors in the body. This batch came out with some great almond nut-laden layers of flavor in the middle and a soft lingering finish. What's nice here is that it is a bit more forward than some of the other Flavor Essence flavorings, but it still has a clean daintiness with no odd aftertaste. The flavor is nicely amplified when you add your own sweeteners whenever you desire.
