A vanilla extract blend designed to celebrate August Why These Three Beans Own August August is the last full exhale of summer — mornings carry the first cool edge of what's coming, garden harvests are at their peak, and the light turns golden earlier each evening. It's a month of abundance and transition, and the flavors of this blend were chosen to mirror exactly that. Comoros vanilla brings the sweetness of late summer itself — a classic, marshmallowy vanilla with deep caramel and dark chocolate undertones. It's the warmth of a sun-soaked afternoon, familiar and enveloping. Madagascar Pompona (Ambilobe) vanilla adds something entirely unexpected — rich vanilla with distinctive banana and tropical fruit notes, bold and fruity with a creamy complexity that no planifolia bean can replicate. It is the abundance of August itself: lush, ripe, and bursting with character at the peak of the season. Uganda vanilla rounds the blend with bold vanilla and subtle raisin and fig notes — a quiet, earthy finish that bridges the sweetness of summer and the warmth of early fall. Together, these three origins create a layered extract profile that is sweet and tropical up front, fruity and complex in the middle, and earthy on the finish — a flavor arc that mirrors August itself. Designed for Vodka & Gin This blend was specifically formulated for light, clean spirits — vodka and gin. Here's why that matters: Vodka is a neutral canvas. It lets the Comoros marshmallow and Ambilobe banana and tropical fruit notes come forward without competition, producing a clean, sweet, multi-dimensional extract that shines in baked goods, custards, and cocktail syrups. Gin is botanically complex. The earthy Uganda beans and the fruity Ambilobe pompona complement gin's herbal and citrus notes rather than clashing with them — the result is a sophisticated extract with unexpected depth, ideal for savory-sweet applications and late-summer desserts. Use the ratio of 1oz of beans for every 8oz of alcohol. For light spirits like vodka and gin, allow this blend to age up to 1 year for full flavor development. The banana and tropical fruit notes from the Ambilobe and the fig and raisin notes from Uganda deepen significantly over time — patience rewards you with a richer, more complex extract.
