The Story
Dom B and B Benedictine Liqueur
A blend of original Benedictine and Cognac. Smells assertively of herbs, honey, quinine and baking spices with added aromas of black tea and tobacco. Entry tastes of tea, sage, fennel and a touch of quinine; the Cognac emerges at midpalate, lending a layer of elegance and genuine distillate presence. Finishes like a champion, long, semisweet, intensely herbal, mildly spicy and satiny.
B&B By Bénédictine is one of the oldest premixed cocktails. In the 1930s, during Prohibition in the United States, a barman at Club 21 in Manhattan came up with the idea of mixing brandy with Bénédictine.
In 1937, Le Palais Bénédictine decided to produce this by blending 60% Bénédictine with 40% fine French Brandy, allowing the flavours to rest and harmonise in small, vintage French oak barrels that have previously been used to age only the finest cognacs.
