John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is an authentic Falernum liqueur from Barbados and is regarded as one of the best-known examples of its kind worldwide. With an alcohol content of 11 % vol. and bottled in a 0.7-litre bottle, this Caribbean liqueur harmoniously combines sweet, spicy and fruity notes, making it an indispensable ingredient in many tiki and rum cocktails.

The recipe for this time-honoured product is based on a Caribbean rum with subtle notes of almonds, ginger, lime zest, cloves and sugar cane syrup. Its mild strength makes it particularly accessible and versatile – both for drinking neat and for mixing. The ‘Velvet’ character refers to its velvety texture and balanced flavour, which give this liqueur a particularly smooth and rounded character.

John D. Taylor was one of the first to bottle Falernum commercially – and with this version, he has created a true classic that enjoys great popularity amongst bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts worldwide. Its origins in Barbados, the cradle of many rums, underline the authenticity of this product and make it an indispensable part of any well-stocked home or professional bar.
