The word from Anders on John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum:
Velvet Falernum is spicy and sweet with notes of vanilla, lime, and ginger. I love the added depth it offers to tikis.

This was not on my radar at all until I found a recipe containing it. How fun! I’m going to try more cocktails with this.

Wonderful and pretty powerful flavors in this. Quite sweet as well. Used mostly in what would be called "tiki" cocktails. I found BG Reynolds Falernum (non-alcoholic syrup) is a fairly close match flavor-wise but looks terrible LOL. Also, this will be shelf stable, basically forever.

Started using this in nearly every tiki drink, and it's become a bar staple for me. Absolutely delicious.

So first things first, this liqueur is not intended to be imbibed on its own -- without anything else to support it, it is cloyingly sweet, heavy on clove and other spices, with a little lime thrown in. When mixed however, these flavors evolve and shine and support your base in beautiful ways! You might be able to roll your own but if you can get your hands on this you'll have an excellent addition to a cocktail with little effort. Definitely recommended!
