Flavor Notes
**Biscuit (Shortbread) (CSC) 1.5% (7-23-22)** -- After reading @NeonKoala's thoughts on this one, I was indeed anxious to see what was what with it. Now every time I review a shortbread", "cookie", or a "biscuit" I have to keep in mind my audience(s), and many are in the US, and some are in the UK, and depending on where you are located, the three aforementioned can take on VERY different profiles. Because this is from Chefs UK, I assume that the "biscuit" part of this is more of what we'd call a "cookie" in the US, as I did get a super delicious, somewhat sweetened cookie element in this one, AND, it was perfectly paired WITH, you guessed it, a shortbread. Now wait just a minute, why not call it a "Shortbread Cookie" ?? Well, hehe, it's actually just a bit more than that. There was a very nice, authentic bakery, almost grainy element in this which almost reminded me of a pecan sandy-ish type cookie, and then there was a much more of a shortbread wash that finished it out. There was some butter, but I wouldn't call it overtly "buttery", but it was in there. About mid-level sweet, and tasted perfect at 1.5%, and continued testing, kept me thinking that it could really just be solo'd and it really didn't leave you wanting. Despite getting no obvious "pecan" tones from this, I kept going back to the pecan sandy-ish cookie as a great comparison. Wow. This one was great, and I didn't feel like anything was missing, and more importantly, I didn't feel the need to ADD anything to it to fix it. Always a great sign. Not a true vanilla cookie, but there may have been some Van elements floating around in the mix. All in, this one was about as perfect as it could get, for a Biscuit/shortbread. I could see numerous uses for it, and it almost SCREAMED to be jammed up with some delicious jam to take it off in another direction. If you would like to pick up a pretty damned unique biscuit/cookie/shortbread, I don't think you can go wrong with this one. **9.9/10**."
