B&B is about 60% Bénédictine and 40% fine French brandy, matured together in small French oak casks and bottled at 40%. The idea began with American bartenders in the 1930s, mixing the two by hand, and Le Palais Bénédictine bottled its own blend from 1937.
It is drier and rounder than straight Bénédictine: honey and herbs, with the brandy's dried fruit and oak giving it backbone. The brandy smooths the herbal edges of the liqueur, so it is easy to sip neat.
For cocktails like the Vieux Carré, buy straight Bénédictine. Buy B&B to sip, over ice or neat after dinner, or for a guest who drinks brandy and wants something sweeter.
Bénédictine suggests it on the rocks, in coffee, or as a B&B Frappé over crushed ice. For more brandy, see our brandy and Cognac page.
