I find that almond flavorings (extracts, etc) vary a lot in intensity.
King Arthur Flour sells Boyajian natural almond extract.
They also sell Sonoma Syrup Company, "a small California company  
producing handcrafted American artisan extracts. No preservatives,  
artificial colors, artificial flavors, or sugar. High-quality blend of  
flavorful oil of bitter almond, alcohol, and water. 8 ounces 16.95

You can also buy Bitter Almond Oil from King Arthur which I have  
always found to be more intense. Adding it to certain items really  
creates an almond taste in the finished product. Lorann Oils in  
Michigan makes it, but it's not listed on their webpage. LorAnn  
actually make a number of almond products, including oils, emulsions,  
almond natural, etc. There's also a Dr. Oetker Bitter -Almond  
Flavoring Essence. And of course bitter almond is not made with  
almonds any longer but that's another story.
