(Strong) mint and spearmint recommendations?

[ghostrider1971]

Evening each,

Can I please have some recommendations for strong mint and spearmint flavours, please?

I think I'm looking for plain mint flavours rather than a "mint and "x"" mix or a menthol flavour 

I recently bought the Inawera spearmint and mixed at the "recommended" 5% and it seems very weak

Also, are mint flavours usually more S&V than a long steep? (I had the Inawera in steep for 3 weeks)

Many thanks

I've not tried Inawera's Spearmint, but in general mints/menthols need minimum time to steep and if anything they tend to peak off the longer that they're left . . . . fresher is better.

The Flavour Arts Spearmint is very strong ghostrider1971. I did a standalone tester at 4% recently and could easily have halved this. Nice too.
