Created in 1890 by Sir John Taylor Mountjoy of Bridgetown, John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is a 22-proof liqueur from Barbados, sweetened with sugar cane and flavored with an infusion of lime peel, almonds and cloves.
A hint of lime prevents it from being excessively sweet, but this is a liqueur made to be mixed in cocktails like the Corn 'n' Oil rather than sipped on its own.
