Of course I don't have much to compare it with and being in Jakarta some of the ingredients are nearly impossible to get. Also having a professional kitchen at my disposal I was able to sous-vide rather than steeping for 24 hours. Here's my recipe: CQ’s Dirty Hands Falernum #1 Zest of 9 small limes 40 whole cloves 3 whole star anise 15 ml mild molasses I cinnamon stick 50 grams grated fresh ginger (maybe increase a bit in batch #2) 300 ml Havana club anejo blanco rhum vacuum pac and sous-vide for 45 minutes 52.3c chill and strain through cheese cloth making sure to squeeze the cloth well with your hands to extract the liquid now mix with: 100ml fresh lime juice 250ml liquid fructose 100ml simple syrup 2.5ml vanilla extract yields 750ml Cheers!

Smuggler's Cove in SF inspired me to make my own falernum, and your recipe was a great guide. I love the herbaceous quality of falernum, it is such a killer addition to rum cocktails. I tried the captains blood as recommended, with less simple syrup and more falernum, and its delicious. Thanks for the post!
