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. Nose: Light herbal and spicy fragrance with pleasant aromas of dried fruits. Taste: Drier palate with soft woody notes with a mild finish of honey.
