Huh! Apparently the main places you can taste castoreum nowadays (should you want to) are niche foods like Swedish liqueur. Otherwise it’s (understandably) quite expensive.
I was curious and found this article amusing as well:

I’m glad to hear that. Otherwise we’d be confronted with the possibility of vast factory farms of mature beavers having their “castor sacs” milked daily.
