BÉNÉDICTINE 1888 is a blend of BÉNÉDICTINE liqueur and the finest Cognac. The spirit is left to mature for an additional three months in small oak casks to create a smooth, complex liqueur with a light, herbal fragrance, and a well-balanced palate with a soft and mild honeyed finish. The date ‘1888’ on the bottle and packaging refers to the year the wine merchant and religious art collector Alexandre Le Grand opened the stunning Palais Bénédictine distillery in the Normandy town of Fécamp in France.
