About this material
Whiskey Lactone is a rich lactone with a more intense scent than many of the classics and bearing a slight maple quality. Despite its name, the connection to whiskey is a tenuous one and it is best thought of as adding interest and nuance within a lactone blend. Whiskey Lactone features heavily at a whopping 5.3% overdose in Baraonda by Nasomatto and it blends extremely well with fruit notes such as Benzaldehyde and Wild Cherry . — Fraterworks
