This famous Bajan 'Gold Medal' beverage and mixer was developed by John D. Taylor of Bridgetown, Barbados, in 1890. This sugar cane based liqueur is a staple of every Bajan’s bar. The uniquely refreshing flavour comes from a refined infusion of lime laced with fine cane syrup and botanicals including almonds and cloves. According to a 1982 New York Times article, the name Falernum is derived from a story which includes a housewife’s recipe for the mixture and describes a moment of misunderstanding that resulted in the syrup’s namesake: Once, when a woman was asked for the ingredients, she answered in the dialect, ‘Haf a learn um’ – ‘Have to learn how it’s done.’ Hence the name.
John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum is a classic Barbadian liqueur that has been a staple of Caribbean cocktails since the late 19th century. Produced from a traditional recipe, it combines Barbados rum with lime, cloves, ginger, and almonds, creating a distinctive balance of citrus, spice, and gentle sweetness that has made it an essential ingredient in tiki and tropical drinks.
The palate is bright and aromatic, offering notes of fresh lime zest, warm baking spice, candied ginger, toasted almond, and vanilla. Its silky texture and moderate sweetness are balanced by lively citrus and a touch of spice, leading to a clean, refreshing finish.
Bottled at 11% ABV, John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum is indispensable in classics such as the Corn 'n' Oil, Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, and numerous tiki cocktails. Its layered combination of rum, citrus, and spice also makes it an excellent addition to Daiquiris, punches, and other rum-based creations.
