Spirit Recommendations

One of The Feliz's most remarkable qualities is its extraordinary versatility across spirits. The combination of Sentani V. tahitensis's floral, fruity brightness with Uganda's earthy depth and Madagascar's creamy warmth creates a flavor profile that adapts beautifully to virtually any base spirit—light or dark, neutral or complex.

• Vodka: The purist's choice and the most versatile base for The Feliz. Vodka's clean neutrality lets every dimension of this blend express itself with full clarity—the floral anise and blackberry brightness of the Sentani tahitensis, the earthy fig and raisin depth of Uganda, and the buttery creaminess of Madagascar all come through without competition. A vodka-based Feliz extract is exceptional in baking, cocktails, gelato, and everyday cooking. If you want to experience the full character of this blend, start here.
• Bourbon: The Feliz is a natural match for bourbon. The Ugandan planifolia's earthy, fig-like depth and the Madagascar's rich creaminess mirror the caramel, oak, and baking spice notes that define great bourbon, while the Sentani tahitensis adds a floral, fruity brightness that lifts the extract and keeps it from feeling heavy. The result is a bourbon vanilla extract with genuine complexity—exceptional in chocolate desserts, spiced cakes, and craft cocktails.
• Whiskey: Whether American, Irish, or Scotch, The Feliz adapts beautifully across whiskey styles. The Ugandan vanilla's earthy, dried fruit character integrates naturally with the grain-forward warmth of American and Irish whiskeys, while the Sentani's bold floral notes add an unexpected aromatic dimension. For Scotch lovers, the earthy Uganda and the anise-forward Sentani find a natural affinity with the smoky, peated complexity of Islay and Highland expressions.
• Dark Rum: Dark and aged rums are among the most vanilla-forward spirits in the world, and The Feliz meets them beautifully. The molasses richness and barrel-aged complexity of dark rum find a natural counterpart in the Ugandan vanilla's fig and raisin depth and Madagascar's creamy warmth, while the Sentani tahitensis adds a tropical, fruity dimension that feels right at home in a rum-based extract. Whether you're using a Jamaican dark rum, a Demerara, or a rich aged Caribbean rum, The Feliz will make it extraordinary.
• White Rum & Light Rum: The Sentani V. tahitensis's floral brightness and the Madagascar's clean creaminess shine beautifully in the sugarcane sweetness of white and light rum. The Ugandan vanilla adds just enough earthy depth to give the extract body without overpowering the spirit's natural character. An excellent choice for tropical cocktail extracts and light dessert applications.
• Tequila (Blanco & Reposado): Tequila's agave-forward earthiness finds a natural complement in the Ugandan vanilla's earthy depth, while the Sentani tahitensis's floral and fruity notes add an aromatic brightness that softens the spirit's edges. Blanco tequila yields a clean, vibrant extract where the Sentani florals shine; reposado adds a gentle oak warmth that integrates beautifully with the Ugandan and Madagascar richness.
• Brandy & Cognac: The grape-distilled fruitiness and oak warmth of brandy and cognac find a natural counterpart in The Feliz's layered profile. The Ugandan vanilla's dried fig and raisin character integrates seamlessly with the dried fruit and spice notes characteristic of aged grape spirits, while the Sentani tahitensis adds a floral aromatic lift and Madagascar provides the creamy foundation. A brandy or cognac-based Feliz extract is deeply sophisticated and exceptional in fruit-forward baking and holiday desserts.
• Gin: The Sentani V. tahitensis's bold floral and anise notes weave naturally into gin's botanical complexity—juniper, citrus, coriander, and florals all find a complementary partner in this blend's aromatic tahitensis character. The Madagascar creaminess softens and rounds the spirit's edges, while the Ugandan earthiness adds a grounding note that makes the pairing genuinely interesting. Particularly beautiful in London Dry and contemporary botanical gins.

From a clean vodka extract for everyday baking to a bold bourbon vanilla for the holidays, The Feliz's two-species, three-origin complexity makes it one of the most spirit-versatile blends in our lineup—and one of the best values in premium vanilla.
