One word of advice, be sure to get the real thing, as with anything so well known, there are many fakes out there! In fact the palais displays hundreds of fake bottles that have been seized over the years, in a special “hall of shame”! The same company also produces "B & B" (or Bénédictine and Brandy), developed in the 1930s in response to a shift in taste toward drier (less sweet) liqueurs, simply by blending Bénédictine with brandy. Originally both products were 43% alcohol by volume (86 proof), but are now 40% alcohol (80 proof). [ when?] Bénédictine® is an elixir; a subtle alchemy of 27 herbs and spices, carefully sourced from around the world Wantingto pay homage to the drink’s origins, our wine merchantobtained permission to use the name and the coat of arms of the Benedictine Abbey in Fécamp and called his liqueur BÉNÉDICTINE®. And if you buy it or use it, share it on any platform and tag me @azlinbloor,and hashtag it #linsfood.

One last thing before I leave you. If you find yourself in Normandy, a visit to the Palais Bénédictineis a must! Purpose built to house the D.O.M. Bénédictine distillery, as the original was burned down in 1892. Benedictine is full-bodied, multilayered, honeyed, spiced and delicately herbal,” says Shaun Dixon, a bartender at 200 South, Taco Agave and Blend Lounge, all in Pensacola, Florida. “It plays off flavors that are sturdy enough to maintain their agency when paired with its relatively bold flavor profile.” Pairing it with dark spirits, brandy, sherry, citrus fruits (including the peels and oil), sage, stone fruits and baking spices all give great results, he says. With: Gin, Bénédictine D.O.M., cherry brandy, triple sec, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine, and aromatic bitters. Nose – as mentioned, D.O.M. Bénédictine is very herbal, after the first hit of alcohol fumes! Definite hints of orange, honey and an indefinable subtle alchemy – very, very pleasant indeed.
