It cost $30. I tasted it against Hiram Walker brand last night and there's no contest - HW tastes like sugar syrup with a slight orange flavor; while Senior's has a much more pronounced orange flavor with a slightly bitter aftertaste. This will be the Curacao in my Mai Tais from now on. Their web site says For Senior's Curaçao liqueur the alcohol and Tobacco Tax division of the U.S.A. has ruled that it is the only one which is also authorized to put "THE AUTHENTIC" on its label. To avoid any confusion Senior & Co. furthermore changed the name to "Curaçao of Curaçao" liqueur. http://www.curacaoliqueur.com/
