D.O.M. B&B Benedictine Liqueur 750ML

A Masterful Marriage of Fine French Brandy and Secret Herbal Liqueur

Discover the refined, drier evolution of a classic bar pairing with dom benedictine liqueur B&B. Originating in 1930s New York speakeasies when bartenders began mixing Bénédictine with French brandy to soften its sweetness, B&B ("Bénédictine and Brandy") was perfected by the distillery as a pre-mixed, barrel-aged masterpiece. It marries the famous 16th-century secret recipe of 27 herbs and spices with fine aged French brandy, which are then rested together in French oak casks to harmonize into a single, cohesive spirit.

At 40% ABV (80 proof), D.O.M. B&B offers a warm, sophisticated balance that is less sweet and more oak-forward than traditional Bénédictine. Featuring rich layers of vanilla, dried fruit, warm baking spices, and subtle toasted oak, it is world-renowned as a world-class digestif enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a sophisticated base in classic cocktails.

Tasting Notes & Flavor Profile

• Aroma: Rich, inviting bouquet of warm oak, French brandy, citrus zest, honeyed herbal spices, cardamom, and subtle leather.
• Palate: Smooth, dry, and velvety on the tongue. Opens with deep brandy notes of dried plum and toasted oak, followed by Bénédictine's signature herbal honey, saffron, and cinnamon complexity.
• Finish: Long, dry, and elegant with lingering French oak tannins and a comforting, warm spice trail.

Key Features

• Pre-Mixed Perfection: Expertly blended at the Palais Bénédictine in Normandy, France, ensuring a perfectly balanced ratio of brandy to herbal liqueur every time.
• French Oak Maturation: Rested in oak barrels to allow the spirit's botanicals and brandy structure to fully meld together.
• Drier Profile: Less sweet than original Bénédictine, offering a bolder oak and brandy-driven backbone preferred by spirits purists.
• Classic Speakeasy History: Inspired by the iconic 1930s cocktail ordering ritual born in American cocktail lounges.

How to Serve & Classic Cocktails

• Neat in a Snifter: Serve 2 oz neat at room temperature in a brandy snifter to fully experience its warm oak aromatics and complex herbal bouquet.
• On the Rocks: Pour over a large ice sphere to chill the spirit slightly and unlock softer vanilla and fruit notes.
