Blackcurrant & Blueberry Menthol Concentrate

Blackcurrant & Blueberry Menthol is a deep, layered berry blend with a cooling herbal edge, inspired by the flavour profile of classic throat lozenges. Rich blackcurrant forms the backbone, supported by juicy blueberry and rounded out with mixed berry notes for depth and body.

Subtle accents of aniseed add a gentle liquorice-like complexity, while mint and menthol provide a clean, cooling finish. A very light bubblegum note sits quietly in the background, offering contrast and smoothing the sharper edges without turning the profile into a candy flavour. Minimal additional sweeteners are used in this blend.

This is a mature, complex blend designed for those who enjoy bold fruit flavours with a medicinal-style freshness and long-lasting mouthfeel.
