This is my take on a classic Scottish desert which is basically a rich sweet cream served with tart Scottish raspberries and oatmeal cookies drizzled with honey and a good Scotch Malt.
The combination of the Honey Circle Cereal TPA, Oatmeal Cookies TPA and FA Cookie provides a nice oatcake with a touch of sweet honey which is further complimented by FLV Milk and Honey adding a further creamy sweet honey depth of flavour.
This creaminess is further built upon by FA Madagascar and FA Vienna Cream, which gives this a lush sweet rich cream to compliment the tart raspberries. Inaweras Raspberry is a great realistic raspberry but very concentrated and paired with the FLV raspberry gives me a very realistic tart,sweet fresh picked raspberry taste, lovely.
The FA whisky note is balanced perfectly with the FA Oakwood and Brown Sugar which gives a decadent oak aged whisky.
I have worked on the balance of flavours and to me this suits my palette but feel free to play around with the percentages to suit your taste.
This needs a good week steep for the flavours to blend, especially the cream element.
Enjoy!

Wow looks delicious if I get the rest of the ingredients i would love to try this....flavorah milk and honey/raspberry and whiskey going on the list lol IDK about oakwood cuz I dont see using it in too many recipes but I might sub madagascar for bourbon vanilla or mix the two....the bourbon has helped me bring out some dark flavors quite nicely..... thanks for sharing!

Can't see why that wouldn't work?
This is one of these mixes that benifits from a good steep, yes it's good after a week but improves greatly after 3 weeks, more smoother.
I love Cranachan as a desert and this is as close as I have gotten to the real thing. Lovely!
FA whisky is great mixed with the oak wood.
Let me know how you get on with this and leave feedback/ rate.
Thank you

BTW I rated it but I didnt try it yet, dont remember doing that but looking at the percentages and ingredients I doubt a five star was incorrect.....Lol....this recipe helped give me the idea to use honey circles as part of a bakery base and with that and biscuit AND cookie together in different combos, I KNOW the possibilities are endless.....I just made a blueberry muffin recipe using a similar principle and its great so far, I do need a new cake base though im excited to try FLA pound cake

The FLV Raspberry is a more realistic raspberry, has a good tartness to it and the Inawera Raspberry helps round it off.
Yes the Honey Loops, in fact any of the cereal flavours, really help with bakery recipes and as you say the possibilities are endless!
Let me know how you get on with the FLV pound cake?
Thanks for the comments and rating, much appreciated!

Did not try the pound cake yet I got cupcake batter FLV instead and hate it....I think im done wasting 5$ a 15ml with that company lol. I got Cap yellow cake and not really a fan of that either. Tried Inawera ras and hate it in just about anything it has this off taste like medicine or cheap candy, kinda gives me a headache thinkin about it lol. Wish I didnt buy that one either......I finally got oatmeal cookie and some others but forgot oak barrel smh. I do have CAP ras V2 and it seems to not play well with some other fruits like blueberries or even raspberries, it did well in a couple recipes as a main fruit flavor(its very realistic!). Anyways im wondering if I can use a dulce and chocolate combo instead of FLV M&H, and if maybe black fire FA may give the whiskey a darker essense....LMK what ya think

Nothing beats FW Yellow Cake, I know it has the nasties but it is good!
Pity you don't get along with the Inawera Rasperry
I can see the chocolate working with this! And the Black Fire is a great addition to whisky.
Let me know how it turns out, might even give it a try myself!

Hey Chewy figured I would give a lil update, I hear TPA Red oak is a really good barrel effect supposedly over FA? I also got JF Yellow Cake and it smells OP, heard great things about it too supposed to be similar to FW. After Cake batter dip was cloggin my coils up so bad I just said forget yellow cake lol. Ras V2 is really good I also got ras NWVG to try. I dont think I like beryl ras FA as much as I thought it muted other flavors even at low %s. I am reluctant to get any new flavorah as the 3 or so I got from them were way too expensive to turn out to not be worth it to me. I will be trying this soon and most likely will try van bourbon instead of madagascar because I think it will fit the profile well. Please lmk if you can think of a sub for milk and honey! thanks
oh and tried cap yellow cake im not impressed so far!!
