Another thread on TC reported that St James is no longer distributed in the US. I have just finished my last bottle of St James and have started using Clement. The results are very good. Velvet Falernum doesn't do it for me at all -- I got spoiled by making Falernum at home. Velvet Falernum is very subtle (weak, not much depth) compared to home-made Falernum #8 or #9. I usually make #8 and everyone loves it.

My next project will be to make home-made Orgeat. I have long suspected that the store-bought Orgeats are also less flavorful than what you produce at home.
