John D. taylor's Velvet Falernum

John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is a celebrated Barbadian syrup-liqueur—often hailed as the original Falernum—crafted from the finest Caribbean sugar cane, lime, almond, and warm spices like clove and allspice. At approximately 11% ABV, this low-proof spirit offers a unique combination of silky sweetness and subtle heat, delivering a velvety mouthfeel that instantly elevates tropical cocktails.

Born in the late 19th century in Barbados and now produced by the historic rum house R.L. Seale, Velvet Falernum brings depth and texture to classic Caribbean punches and tiki drinks. Its vibrant blend of lime zest, toasted almond, clove warmth, and gentle vanilla makes it equally exceptional in daiquiris, Corn & Oil, or as a sweet-spice twist in modern mixology.
