Can you taste any difference in the "Bourbon" vanilla over the regular alcohol ones like McCormick etc?

If you get Real Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract, it is over the top good. The problem is Amazon is using 3rd party sellers. Our bottle was not the usual dark brown. It tasted like it had been cut with a bottle of rubbing alcohol. This is a perishable item, so unless you can fight it out with your credit card company, it’s non-returnable and you’re out over a $100 for stuff that is questionable if it’s even safe to pour down your drain.

Why is there added sugar?

This is literally answered in the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION, I’ve copy & pasted it ; Why is there sugar in the extract? Sugar is one of five permissible ingredients the FDA allows in pure vanilla extracts. It helps in the extraction process by keeping the extracted vanilla compounds in suspension, aiding in product clarity. We use 100% all-natural, crystalized cane sugar for its reliable quality and taste. The sugar content in our extract makes up less than 5% of the finished product, an amount that is nutritionally insignificant when a small quantity is added to a dish. We do not add any extra sugar after the extraction process.

does this item have alcohol in it?

Does it have alcohol? Boy does it have alcohol! Don’t buy from 3rd party. Read under the price tag if it’s 3rd party. If you get Real Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract, it is over the top good. The problem is Amazon is using 3rd party sellers. Our bottle was not the usual dark brown.

Is this gluten free? I ask because of the bourbon.

There's no bourbon in it. Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans does not have anything to do with Bourbon whiskey, it derives its name from the old name for Madagascar - the Bourbon Islands.

Best vanilla with a dribble cap

Wish they would change the cap on the world’s best vanilla. The cap dribbles when you pour down the side of the bottle. Best vanilla tho!

Goed vanille-extract

Heb dit al een paar x gekocht voor mijn bakwerk. Uit ervaring blijkt dit een van de betere. Het wordt wel een plakkerig flesje op den duur als je niet wat oplet.
