description Bénédictine B&B Overview

Bénédictine B&B is a French liqueur that combines Bénédictine herbal liqueur with brandy. The bottled blend was introduced in the 1930s after drinkers had begun ordering the two ingredients together, with the initials standing for Bénédictine and Brandy. Compared with standard Bénédictine, it has a drier, less overtly sweet profile, while retaining complex herbal and spice notes suited to sipping neat or over ice.
