Yeah, I like it... I similarly made my own falernum (the No 9 recipe) a few times so can compare. On the first occasion I made some, I compared it to the end of my bottle of Taylors & it's fair to say it was quite a different product. The Taylors is more of a syrup no doubt & doesn't have quite the kick of the home made stuff but I found the homemade stuff was more variable (sometimes it was more clovey, others more gingery, limey, etc) & went off quicker than I used it. Although, if we were talking homemade recipes, using a regular Spanish white rum (instead of Wray & Nephews as many suggest) or demerara sugar (a sort of dirty falernum) are both good ideas. For the amount I use it (1oz a week tops?), I think Taylors is the best option for me.
