Introducing The Michelle — Our Second Expert-Designed 4 Vanilla Bean Blend
We are thrilled to introduce the second blend in our expert-designed series — The Michelle — curated exclusively for the members of Making Vanilla Extract by VanillaPura on Facebook.
Meet Michelle
Michelle has been a proud member of our Facebook group since May 2022 and currently serves as one of our trusted group experts. A gifted extract maker with deep hands-on experience, she has worked with dozens of vanilla varieties and spirits over the years. She knows what makes a truly exceptional homemade vanilla extract — and The Michelle blend is her masterpiece.
The Four Beans in This Blend
Michelle personally selected and combined four world-class vanilla origins to create a blend that is layered, complex, and deeply satisfying:
- Madagascar V. pompona (The Ambilobe) — Floral and fruity with a bold, exotic character and a distinctly rich, rum-like sweetness
- Comoros V. planifolia — Bold and buttery with a warm, full-bodied character
- Ugandan V. planifolia — Earthy and robust with dried fruit undertones
- Sumatra Indonesian V. planifolia — Smoky, woodsy depth with a hint of mocha
Tasting Notes
The Michelle delivers a profile that is bold, exotic, and richly complex — think floral and fruity top notes from the V. pompona layered with undertones of mocha and dried fruit. It is a beautifully balanced blend that rewards patience and aging.
Cost Savings
Vanilla bean blends are a smart way to explore four distinct origins without purchasing a separate pouch of each. Get the full range of flavors in one beautifully curated blend — all in a single pouch.
Spirit Recommendations
The Michelle is designed to shine across a wide range of spirits. Michelle recommends it with Brandy, Cognac, Bourbon, Rum, and Vodka — making it one of the most versatile blends in our expert series.
This is Michelle's blend. We think you are going to love it.
