1. A smokeless tobacco product configured for insertion into the mouth of a user of the product, the tobacco product comprising a tobacco formulation containing a particulate tobacco material and at least one encapsulated additive contained within the tobacco formulation, the encapsulated additive being in the form of a plurality of microcapsules having a diameter of less than about 100 microns and comprising a rupturable and water-soluble solid outer shell encapsulating an internal liquid or gel payload, the payload comprising a flavorant, wherein the tobacco formulation is contained within a water-permeable pouch and wherein the flavorant is a tobacco-containing flavorant or a sweetener, the dry weight of tobacco material in the tobacco formulation being greater than the weight of the plurality of microcapsules, and the plurality of microcapsules being present in an amount of about 20 percent to about 50 percent, based on the combined weight of microcapsule components and dry weight of tobacco material. 2. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the tobacco-containing flavorant comprises a tobacco extract or a particulate tobacco material. 3. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the sweetener comprises neotame. 4. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the flavorant further comprises vanillin optionally in a complexed form. 5. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the payload further comprises a flavorant that imparts a flavor selected from the group consisting of vanilla, coffee, chocolate, cream, mint, spearmint, eucalyptus, menthol, peppermint, wintergreen, lavender, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, cascarilla, sandalwood, honey, jasmine, ginger, anise, sage, licorice, lemon, orange, apple, peach, lime, cherry, strawberry, and combinations thereof. 6. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the outer shell is water-soluble under conditions of at least about 45 weight percent moisture, based on the total weight of the smokeless tobacco product. 7. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the outer shell comprises gelatin. 8. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the outer shell is configured to dissolve during use of the smokeless tobacco product. 9. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, comprising a first set of capsules containing a flavorant and a second set of capsules containing a flavorant, wherein the outer shell of the capsules in the first set differs from the outer shell of the capsules in the second set. 10. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 9, wherein the outer shell of the first set is adapted to release the encapsulated flavorant upon initial introduction into the mouth of a user and the outer shell of the second set releases the encapsulated flavorant at a later time. 11. The smokeless tobacco product of claim 1, wherein the payload further comprises a non-aqueous diluting agent.
