Reading what mikehooker posted makes me believe that #8 maybe where it's at. Now onto Dr. Adam Elmegirab's Falernum. On first sip, my suspicions were confirmed, way too much anise and orgeat flavors impeding on the ginger-lime-clove balance. Maybe in the right cocktail it can be good but honestly, you're better off with #8/#9 and then adding a few drops of Pernod and orgeat.
