What it is

Natural bourbon flavor is a flavoring substance derived from the aging process of bourbon whiskey. It captures the complex aroma and taste notes, such as vanilla, caramel, and oak, associated with bourbon without containing alcohol. Manufacturers achieve this by extracting or synthesizing these flavor compounds.

Why it's used

This flavor is used to impart a rich, sweet, and slightly smoky taste to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, sauces, marinades, and meat products where a bourbon-like flavor profile is desired.

Health notes

Natural bourbon flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flavoring substances, and typically find them safe at levels used in food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of natural flavorings.

Allergen info

Natural bourbon flavor is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
