Introduction:
Bénédictine & Brandy, or B&B, is one of the oldest premixed cocktails, originating in the 1930s during Prohibition at Manhattan’s famed Club 21. This elegant blend combines 60% Bénédictine with 40% fine French brandy, matured together in vintage French oak barrels previously used to age the finest cognacs, resulting in a refined and harmonious liqueur.
Tasting Notes:
-
Sight: Coppery with golden highlights, showcasing its luxurious blend.
-
Nose: Light herbal and spicy aromas, layered with notes of dried fruits.
-
Palate: Drier than traditional Bénédictine, with soft woody notes and a mild honeyed finish that lingers with elegance.
Pairing Suggestions:
Enjoy neat, on the rocks, or as a smooth after-dinner sipper. Complements rich desserts, roasted nuts, or aged cheeses.
