Wright's Liquid Smoke Applewood,Hickory & Mesquite (3 Pack) 3.5 oz

I almost didn’t buy this due to reviews that complained of receiving this product that had leaked, but I decided to roll the dice and I’m happy I did. I received this product perfectly intact and as good as expected. No leaks, not a drop. I’ve only tried one and it was good.

The items were packaged well but one of the caps wasn't on tight. There was some leackage but not a whole lot.

Taste like smoke

I read the reviews and was a bit worried about the spill that most spoke about. I opened the box and was pleased by the amount of packaging involved. However, I could smell the smoke. Uh oh. I carefully unwrapped the bottles. Only one leaked a tiny bit on the bubble wrap - the mesquite. Keep in mind the picture was up close to get an idea of how much. The actual area - well I could sit one of these bottles upright and cover it all easily. The paper towel picture is the amount I wiped off the mesquite botttle. It is a paper towel I got from Taco Bell for reference. So the amount I lost was very tiny. I also included a picture of the top of the mesquite bottle so you can see it is sealed. So, the leaking doesn't seem to be due to Amazon packaging. It does seem Wrights has taking what I would consider normal procedures on preventing leaking. All 3 bottles were on their sides and outside was freezing rain. I did check to see if the lids were on tight or could they be moved underneath the safety seal. Well, only the mesquite was not on as tightly as the other 2. So, I guess that resolves that. It was just loose enough to leak a little. I haven't tried cooking with them yet. However, I can say the smell from that tiny bit of leakage - it brought back many childhood memories of cookouts and smokers using mesquite. I was tempted to smell my clothes because that smoke lingered. So,I am going to say I am going to be super pleased by these bottles when I cook with them. The smell lingers even after being exposed to open air. It's not overpowering, but it is there. I'll try to post more when I use them.

Product packaged very well. Haven't tried them yet.

I ordered this with one delivery as I just purchased the pork roast. I wanted to cook. It came a day late . Review after review says that the product leaked in transit, even though it was wrapped in bubble wrap and plastic. Exactly my experience. I’ve always purchased the single bottle at Safeway, but couldn’t find it anywhere the other day and turned to Amazon where I had to order three bottles. There was no leakage in the actual box, but quite a bit of leakage inside the plastic. Each bottle had normal plastic seal around the top, but when I took those off, one for sure, was not actually screwed on tight. If you’ve ever bought this before, you know how strong the smell is! I’ve now had to put them in Ziploc bags to put in my cupboard to try to mitigate the smell. Wish I could’ve bought just one and wish they hadn’t leaked. At least the bottles were still full. They’re kind of similar so I couldn’t tell which bottle leaked but I do remember one top not being on super tight. At least it didn’t leak into the box. I had never seen the applewood version which seems quite a bit more mild, and a touch of sweetness. I kind of combined to cook in my instant pot with my pulled pork. Now that I have three bottles, I will have to find more uses for it. Overall, this is the brand I like, but I would continue to hunt locally next time.

Excellent! I had seen this on an episode of America's Test Kitchen, which they rates the best and 100% natural in how the smoke essence is collected with no additives. They were spot on, I love smoked food, so this is great. All three flavors are wonderful. Try it, you will be happy !

I guess shipping 3 bottles of liquid smoke together doesn't work very well. The package arrived and on the outside it was a regular looking box. As soon as I broke the tape, the odor was horrific! All three bottles were wrapped in bubble wrap and those were inside another sealed plastic bag. HOWEVER, each of the bottles inside the bubble wrap leaked. ALL the lids were lose. I don't know for how long, but long enough to turn the bubble wrap brown and get the inside of the plastic bag wet. I don't know if it was the scent of all 3 mixed together that was painful or what but the whole mess went in the trash! If you are going to try these, I would suggest the individual bottles (although I won't be ordering any of them any time soon). At least if they come open, it is only one scent in the box. Plus, not knowing how long they had been open, and if they are supposed to be refrigerated after opening, I did not want to take any chances.
