R.L. Seale and Company, LTD of Barbados is the producer of John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum. It is said to been invented by John D. Taylor of Bridgetown, Barbados in the 1890's, but like so many other things in the spirit industry there is controversy about that too. It doesn't really matter at this point, what matters is that this fine mixing spirit is available here and now.
This Liqueur is a sweet yet tart combination of almond, lime Juice, Sugar, Water, Clove Essence, and White Rum. The combination brings to life a great number of fine cocktails.
