Taylor’s Velvet Falernum

The Original Falernum — Barbados Since 1890

Taylor's Velvet Falernum is the original — the falernum that all others are measured against. Made in Barbados since 1890 by the John D. Taylor company, it is a low-ABV liqueur of lime, almond, ginger, and clove that has been the essential ingredient in Caribbean cocktails for over a century. The Mai Tai, the Corn 'n' Oil, the Zombie — none of them are the same without it.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Aromatic and tropical. Bright lime zest leads with warm almond, fresh ginger, and a hint of clove spice.
• Palate: Balanced and complex. Lime and almond are front and center, with ginger heat and clove spice adding depth and a lightly sweet finish.
• Finish: Smooth and spiced. Ginger and clove linger with a clean, tropical warmth.
