One of the better orgeat syrups I've ever used
One of the better orgeat syrups I've ever used. Great flavor and it has a nice texture that helps to add the perfect mouthfeel to my cocktails. Not quite as good as Small Hand Foods in my opinion but it won't spoil on you as fast. One of the top 3 on the market right now.

Just Not Quite Right
Not enough genuine Orgeat flavor - Mai Tais made with this just aren't quite "right." Also its pretty expensive given the tiny bottle size. There are better Orgeats out there.

I'm leaving three stars because I really like what these guys are trying to go
I'm leaving three stars because I really like what these guys are trying to go. Good quality bitters and syrups are expensive and hard to come by. As a guy with a passion for Tiki (who should probably be making his own Orgeat anyway), it's nice having quality options like this out there.However, I just dislike the taste. I think maybe they just tried too hard to make it different, but there's some kind of spice or something in the mix that really affects the flavor of my beloved Mai Tai in a negative way. For me, at least. It's actually sort of like a burnt hair taste.But this is just my opinion...others may like and there's no doubt it's a well made syrup.

Great for Polynesan Drinks & Punches
I looked locally for good quality orgeat syrup and after months of searching, I finally went to Amazon. Before buying this I read all the reviews on orgeat syrup. Having been a bartender (waaaay back in the day) I used orgeat syrup in potent punches and tropical cocktails to mask the alcohol in Trader Vic/Polynesan drinks. This works perfectly for that. The only complaint I have is the difficulty in removing the green wax seal on the plastic bottle. I realize it needs to be sealed (and this surely did that!), but I had to use a knife to remove it and since the bottle is plastic ... well, you can imagine how easy it would be to puncture the bottle (no, I didn't do that). And difficult though it was, it wouldn't stop me from buying this syrup again.

Smelled like sewage, tasted only slightly better.
I really don't like to leave such a bad review for a company that seems to be trying so hard, but this product was terrible. I've tried orgeats from Small Hand Foods, BG Reynolds, home-made, and maybe one or two others. Small Hands is definitely the best, but expensive. I was hoping this would be a suitable, more affordable substitute: it is not.This bottle had a "bottled on" date of June 13, 2016 and an expiration date of June 13, 2018. I opened it and began using it around July 7, 2016 and therefore don't believe the foul taste to be caused by excessive age.Also of note, this is not syrupy-thick like the other orgeats I have tried, the consistency is much closer to water. There was also no discernible almond flavor.I dumped it down the drain and used the bottle to store a homemade orgeat instead.

Great syrup with simple ingredients
I bought this because I didn't want a bunch of artificial sugar and corn syrup. Look at the ingredients. It's simple ingredients that taste great. Also, compare this syrup's sugar/serving side by side with your alternatives. It has a fraction of the sugar! I highly recommend this!
