I can't have pure almond extract in my facility as we are nut-free. I was pleasantly surprised to find this product and in a good size bottle too!! It tastes good and will keep purchasing this one.

This is by far the best clear Almond extract I have used. It makes my almond buttercream icing delicious and doesn't leave an aftertaste. And it comes in a large bottle so that you don't have to order every time you turn around. you won't be sorry if you purchase this item

This is one of the best almond extracts that I have tried. It doesn`t give you that overly synthetic almond perfume flavor like I find in some other brands. It is one of my all time favorites for wedding cake.

This imitation almond extract is disappointing. It is very weak...both in aroma and taste. I can see that it will take too much extract to get the same quality of what I have been using. I won't purchase this one again.

This extract is average at best. It requires i use a little more extract than i typically do in my recipes. Its fine for the price point, but i typically only use this one as a backup

Shank's 8 oz. Imitation Almond IS A QUALITY PRODUCT, ALTHOUGH IMITATION ALMOND, IT HAS THE STRENGTH AND POTENCY OF A PURE EXTRACT AND IN MY BAKING EXPERIENCE MAKING A GREAT TASTE IN THE PRODUCT. THE PRICE IS EXCELLENT. BOTTLE COMES SECURELY PACKAGED,EVEN WITH A SPECIAL "GRIPPER"TAPE WRAP AROUND CAP TO PREVENT ANY LEAKAGE DURING SHIPMENT.

for being an imitation flavoring and not an extract, I was a little wary at first, but this as a great almond flavor and aroma, and a little goes a long way, so even this smaller bottle will last a very long time. really nice stuff.

I have been using Shank's products for years and I just discovered this almond extract. I have been using it mainly in baking for cookies and it is a HUGE price saving over buying extract from a grocery store. I love the flavor that almond gives fresh cookies out of the oven.

Comparing it to similar Imitation Almod flavoring like McCormicks brand, this is the same quality with better ingredients than McCormicks. For the price per ounce, its unbeatable. There is only 3 ingredients:Water, Alcohol, and flavoring. No sugar, no preservatives other than the alcohol. Smell and taste is very good. So far, I've used the flavoring in rainbow cookies as well as making an Almond flavored syrup for coffee and other treats. Nothing to really complain about based on the quality, the quantity and the price.

I had previously purchased the 8 ounce bottle of Shank's Imitation Almond flavoring and liked it so much that I purchased this size in my next order. I use almond flavorings most often in my cookies and pure almond extracts can get quite costly. This is a great tasting and more economical alternative.

Clear almond is great for white almond sour cream cakes. It can be expensive and there are few brand options in the store, so this is a good value.

This does not have a strong smell so I was afraid it would not flavor well. It was perfect. Not too much over the top. Some almond flavoring can be a bit much. This was perfect.
