Arguably the Falernum market is dominated by Taylors Velvet falernum & Fee Brothers falernum - IMO both are good but very different products. IMO there is real value in comparing the two products: they are very different & can change a drink. Here's my 2 cents on comparing the two brands: Taylor's is like a clove syrup with less lime & ginger than Fee Brothers. When you open a bottle it is quite potent but if it is left open a little while it becomes subtler (I think this is preferable). It brings something to multi ingredient drinks & can be more refined but can also fall flat. Fee Brothers is intense & sweet with goodness knows what flavours (like, ginger, almond, etc etc) going on - a 1/4 oz can be quite prevalent. If Taylors can be more refined, Fee Brothers can bring the party. What other brands of falernum have TCers tried & how do they compare to these two benchmarks?
