The foundation of B&B is Bénédictine, a historic French liqueur created by Alexandre Le Grand in the 19th century who claimed to have discovered a lost Renaissance recipe from Benedictine monks. The pre-blended B&B version was officially launched in 1937 to meet the high demand from American consumers and fine establishments who loved the dry complexity of the pre-mixed blend.
Born from the legendary blend of Bénédictine liqueur and dry cognac-style brandy, this recipe was originally popularized by elite bartenders in 1930s New York. It is officially produced at the spectacular Palais Bénédictine in Fécamp, France, utilizing a secret selection of 27 distinct herbs and spices.
