All of this said, these tests were done drinking the stuff straight, and we definitely agreed that in a drink, results may vary. I'm glad you pointed this out. It's not surprising that in a solo/straight taste test the Taylor's Velvet Falernum would come in first. Being that it is a liqueur, it is of course supposed to be palatable straight. All of the other Falernums are syrups and are by no means expected to by consumed straight. Thanks Pablus for coming up with an easily available approximation of the Sazeracs (half Fees, half Taylors). I will give this a try.
