Following is my opinion only and may not stand up to a withering cross-examination on bouquet, nose, etc. I just know what I like. That said, falernum and orange bitters are great additions to the bar and I absolutely cannot find them anywhere else. Fee's orgeat is better than Vic's and equal to Torani (haven't tried Monin, yet). Passion fruit syrup was almost as good as TV's. Fee's grenadine is similar to Angostura brand and better than Rose's, but TV's is the best one I've had. Fee Brothers also sent along a page of drink recipes with each flavor. The pages were already three-hole punched for easy addition to your recipe binder. Yeah, I don't have one either, but it's a nice touch. One last thing about Fee Brothers products is that the large bottles are 32 oz. Keep that in mind when doing price comparisons as the others are typically 25.4 oz. JTD
