Old Flavors?

[twisted]

just wondering how long flavors last. I have always stored mine in a shoe box in a cool place. I have well over 200 different flavors ranging from 8 months to maybe a year and a half old. Some not even opened.

I have some older than that, that seem fine.

Below is a generalization using extracts which usually have 35% alcohol base. I use the sniff/smell option.
Extract Shelf Life



Pantry
Extracts Indefinitely
Handling Tips:
Keep tightly closed; volatile oils escape.
Extracts will generally last (maintain quality) indefinitely until they evaporate. But, if you doubt that, sniff and, if you wish, taste. If the scent and taste are good, they will do their job in your recipe. If there's no aroma, discard.

been wanting to get back into it for awhile now. Need to get some more flavors and bottles

where do you guys recommend getting about 50 30ml plastic bottles and about 20 50 ml ones? Unicorn or regular. Can't remember where I ordered them last.

I order from bull city flavors.

I just keep using it until it tastes bad. PG based flavorings last a long time.

just wondering how long flavors last.

"last"... How?

To be the same as just manufactured?

To just add more flavor to get similar results?

Or?

Some flavor bottles contain expiration "best by" date printed on them. Some flavors age better than others.
