Aging liquid

[Matodd]

Okay so I ordered some juice from a vendor and they make the juice when you order. My problem is that I order tiramisu and it smelled like skunk yes I said skunk. Now a week later smells better but still tastes awful. So my question is how long does it take juice to age? I tried pouring it into a bowl and leaving it sit out over night but that didn't help much except to make the kitchen smell like skunk. I ordered three 30ml bottles of three different flavors and none of them are quite right. Should I give it more time or chalk it up to inexperience with ordering from that vendor and move on? I really miss my tiramisu

One a side note I order a tiramisu flavor to DIY with and it also smelled like skunk. I makes the tool box I keep my DIY stuff in smell and I have it inside of a baggy.

Hello anyone out there?

Tiramisu is one of the strongest flavors you can buy, and a little of it goes a loooooooooong way - I would give it at least two weeks to age a little - and mellow out.

There are some flavors that you are just not going to like. I am not really a believer in the 'requires a month to age' camp. If it you loathe it on day #1 and you loathe it still on day #4, letting it sit for another month is not going to help that much (except by dint of the fact that flavors will eventually fade, so I suppose if you let it sit long enough, all the bad flavors will eventually go away).

There are some tobacco flavors out that I have tried from a vendor that I thought were putrid. I hated them on day #1, day #4, day #7, day #14, day #30, and day #60. Once I got into DIY, I discovered that it was not them, it was the flavoring agent that they used. If you are using a tiramisu flavoring from the same company as the vendor gets their flavorings, it's possible that is your problem, and trying it from a different flavoring company might make a difference.

Thanks guys I'm going to try it again but if it still isn't right I'm going to just throw it out. Live and learn I suspose. This was cheaper than the tiramisu that I tried orginally so sometimes you get what you pay for I guess. Thanks again.

I emailed the vendor to ask about the awful smell. He says it does smell terrible and told me that if I didn't like it that he would throw in an extra bottle of liquid of my choice on my next order.
