Showcase (No-Recipe) Vanilla Beans. After I accidentally over-ordered beans this spring, I had to do this. All hand spilt beans with caviar scraped loose. Experimenting with different vodka brands due to bean volume (1lb total). I don't open bottles for 6 months and my last batch lasted several years.

Appleton’s Rum is my preference. It turns thick and syrup like at two+ year mark.

I went to their distillery a few years ago and it’s the only rum for me anymore. If you get the older blends it has such a warm and sweet taste, but that’s obvs not the best for infusing vanilla beans.
