Looking for rum flavouring
Options

Hi, looking for a recommendation for really good, strong rum flavouring/essence please.
This is for rum & raisin ice cream and to get the decent level of flavour using real rum requires so much of it that it takes forever for the ice cream to set - and the raisins fall to the bottom!
So I'd like to be able to soak the raisins in just enough rum to soften them, then add a few drops of authentic tasting essence/extract for depth of flavour.
TIA for any recommendations.

Try this, it is a flavouring rather than an essence, but it is strong.

However, I always prefer essences, this is the one I use

Thank you Amys - is the essence a genuine tasting one? Some products are described as being very artificial.0

Could you not make your own concentrate by gently simmering some dark rum down to concentrate it? You'd have to be careful not to set it alight (or get drunk from the fumes lol) but you'd cook off a lot of the alcohol so you'd get the flavour with less of the alcohol, so you wouldn't have as much of a problem with the ice cream not setting. Plus the fact you wouldn't need to use an artificial flavouring. I have no idea if this would work btw, just thinking aloud0

What I do is add the raisins when it's just setting. I have to give it a stir at that point anyway.0

Would using a little molasses as a sugar help? Is that not rum's flavour?0
