I have this one bottled right now. Used 2 whole (sliced open) vanilla beans soaked in JD for an afternoon in place of the extract. I was subliminally forced to open one after 2 weeks of conditioning and the taste is impressive. My only disappointment is that the vanilla is hardly noticeable. I suggest using more than 2 beans!
