The Falernum Liqueur I always utilize at home is John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum (it is blended and bottled by R.L. Seale & Co, Ltd in Barbados)

Being in the spirits trade has its advantages, as I can get it free or at cost from a fellow broker, and I know it is not a common stock item at your local bottle shop. Remember, the more a off-premise buyer hears the consumer demand products the more he is inclined to bring in specialty brands. Do not waste your time at grocery stores as chain buyers only bring in Nielson rated commodity brands.

The importer for importer of Taylor's Falernum is The Spirit of Hartford (Avon, CT)
Check out their website at: http://www.spiritofhartford.com
Of course, the have Doorly's, Foursquare, and other artisanal rums.
Of course, a crafty fellow can make his own Falernum with some real lime juice (Mexican Keys work best), Muscavado sugar, Clove and Almond essences, purified water and good white rum.
The great Mixologist, Mr. Dale Gegroff is greatly responsible for bringing Falernum Liqueur back to the best backbars of American Bars.
