6 months. My first batch I used vodka. I have another batch I started about a month ago and this time I used Rum. I poured out some of the rum, and used 4 vanilla beans (beans are split in half lengthwise and inserted into the bottle). Pour the rum back into the bottle. It smells wonderful already!

Ready to use just like regular vanilla.
Great flavor!
