Bénédictine is a historic French herbal liqueur with a rich, mysterious character. Created in 1863 in Normandy, it’s made from a closely guarded recipe said to include 27 herbs and spices, blended with honey and aged in oak barrels. The result is a smooth, complex spirit with notes of herbs, citrus peel, spice, and warm sweetness.

Bénédictine stands out for its layered depth and aromatic intensity. At 40% ABV, it has enough strength to hold its own in cocktails while remaining refined and elegant. Its flavor profile bridges the gap between sweet liqueurs and herbal digestifs.
