Flavor Notes
**Blackcurrant (SC) (Nomz) 1.5% (2-25-24)** -- Darker", and "Complex-ified" were the two take-aways with this flavor. While this flavor might not have 100% of the tart kick that real BC's have, it was def. in the ballpark. With just below mid-level sweetness, and just enough tart on the finish it was a tasty one. While hard to classify, it's core revolved around a darker berry, with slight earthy tones, and just a hint of floral-ness. I know, I know, "But florals are bad" !!!! In this case they were minimal, and added to the authenticity. Hints of dark(er) raspberries, blueberries, and light wine notes, kept this one mysterious, dark, and complex. At 1.5% it felt like 85% of the way there strength wise, so not overly strong or overpowering. If you like delving into the darker, more mysterious berry blends, this one will work for you. Having very few "eaten" BC's to compare this to, it was fairly convincing, and authentic. I struggled with the final score, but with no off-notes, take-offs, or "wants" I decided to leave it fairly high at a **9.0/10**. Dark and mysterious."
