Got a call from my liquor store guy - they no gots any more - back to the drawing board. Any help?- besides makin it myself? Fee bros? - any good?

I used Fee bros and Velvet Falernum in the same drink recently (for a scientific A/B taste test). Unfortunately I forgot to write my results down. I had a few more drinks after that apparently. As I recall there was a slight difference between the two but both were quite enjoyable. I got the Velvet Falernum from:

I got the Fee Bros from amazon.com for 10 bucks a quart.
I never tried making it myself, seems like too much work. Squeezing limes is about as involved as I want to get come the cocktail hour.
