This isn't directed at AceExplorer but I think there's a value to comparing your homemade to a few bottled falernums - how would you know it's the best unless you've compared it?

That's what spurs me on to keep trying making my own (occasionally) & trying new brands.
Depending on your falernum & knowing that you dislike Taylors, I'd recommend getting a small bottle of Fees & comparing - Fee's surprised me & it's very different to Taylors!

Thanks AdOrAdam, I'm fully on board with you. At the moment, it's hard to justify buying more falernums when the home-made versions have been highly-touted by many others and are working so well for me. Frankly, I'm not having any of the problems shared by others. Eventually I will compare others side-by-side, because I'm curious by nature, and I think the comments here are worthwhile. But I won't be doing that for a very long time. I think I said I wanted to do the comparisons in an earlier post, but alas, I have a lot of stuff from Gaz Regan I'm working with in my home bar, so I have been whittling away at quite a shopping list.

I think I've shared all I have to share on this, and I've enjoyed the different perspectives and tastes expressed here.

Okole maluna to all!
