I've tried the Latitude 29 falernum straight from the bottle and it's pretty tasty. My recollection was a nice balance of ginger and clove without being oversweet. However, immediately after trying it, I tasted the falernum made in-house at Isla in Austin and my heart was stolen. I used Taylor's routinely at home and have been very content with results in mixed drinks (so take my taste preference for whatever that's worth). But I've still not yet tasted Fee Bros. I've had BG's falernum out at a bar (exact location escaping me!) and don't remember any adverse affects, but also don't remember noticing any discernible differences from Taylor's. Cheers! :drink: Finky, glad you found the info helpful. Jeff Berry's willingness to answer a few questions is another testament to his commitment to spreading good tiki cheer around the globe both through his books and also personally. I try to follow his example by also sharing some of my thoughts and findings here on Tiki Central. The responses often help me get out of "ruts" that I get stuck in, and this falernum comparison thread is a good example of that. The experiences and experiences of others are eye-opening and helpful.
