The bouquet is mesmerizing with multiple layers of fragrances that include pine/cedar, quinine, fennel, white pepper, licorice, mace, allspice, sage and rosemary. An orange zest flavor appears at palate entry; midpalate finds exotic tastes of orange zest, tangerine zest, multiple herbs and spices, honey and pine. A fabulous liqueur.

Notes

This true CLASSIC is a must-have for any mixologist or amateur cocktail lover. This special brady-based French liquor was released in the 19th century by french industrialist Alexandre Le Grand and its actual connection to the Benedictine order is dubious at best, but the recipe is claimed to have been invented in 1510 by French monk Dom Bernardo Vincelli. The main flavor components include hyssop, angelica, and lemon balm, but the other 24+ ingredients and the composition are a closely guarded trade secret. Similar to Chartreuse, the concoction is aged for several months before bottling.
