Flavouring with a taste resembling liquorice (7)

I believe the answer is:

aniseed

(Other definitions for aniseed that I've seen before include "Pernod flavouring" , "Natural flavouring" , "Liquorice flavouring -- ie Danes (anag)" , "Licorice-flavoured sweets" , "Strong herbal flavouring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
