Shortbread Flavor-Cap

Tested 5% steeped a week. I’m definitely not getting butter cookies in the round blue tin. This reminds me of a sweeter version of Biscuit Inawera. A bready type of cookie. It doesn’t have a crunchy cookie type texture, is more like a Madeleine. It’s a nice flavor, pretty sweet, it definitely could be a one shot. It’s got a smidge of butter, and it’s a sweeter concentrate. Solo I’d go 6% .50% sweetener. Main note up to 6%. It’s a good flavor, I have better cookies, but as an additive to a cookie base would be nice, or pie crust base. I’ll repurchase when my 10 mls is gone.

**Shortbread 3.5% (1-17-22)** -- It appears that BCF is having a hard time keeping this one (and others) in stock, so must be a good sign, right ?? Hehe, we'll just see about that. Initially when I tested this one, I did a DOUBLE TAKE. Now, not because it was terrible, or off-putting, but UNEXPECTED. What, you say ?? Well, I'd swear this one was almost like a Pumpkin Bread, but without the Pumpkin. Yes, you read that right. I double, and tripple checked, to make sure nothing was wrong on my end, and that's what I get from this one. Now, this is going to be hell for me to rate, as it's a GREAT flavor, I just don't think it's a shortbread. At times I could get a LITTLE buttery-ness, and almost shortbread-ed-ness, but the majority of the time, it presented as a pumpking bread, missing the pumpkin, or even a ginger bread, minus the ginger. Sound confusing, good, welcome to MY world. In no ways was it off-putting, but it really came across far too dark, and almost spice (like) to be a light, shortbread. If this is a shortbread, it's like none that I've ever tried. Regardless of it's namesake or lack thereof, it was actually hella delicious, for WHATEVER it was. Just below or at mid-level sweet, with literally no off-putting notes, and with no indication of hitting the ceiling. @ 4% it was a nice, rich, almost dark cookie, that (repeating) just leaned towards a pumpkin or gingerbread cookie more than anything else. NO overt spices, but it's like they were IN there. Quite good, and damned fine, as a solo too boot. I am enjoying this one SOO much, I'm going to have to DOUBLE RATE it. No other way, it's too good. OK, for a "shortbread cookie", I would have to go low, maybe **5.5/10**, BUT, as a (I have no clue), maybe a cookie base for a gingerbread, or pumpkin bread, I would have to rate it at a **10/10**. You guys NEED to get this one, and YOU sound off, what YOU get from it. Don't buy it to be used as a shortbread, but get it anyway, and ENJOY it, just like I am. Bad name Capella, but GREAT flavor !!!!
