Kentucky B And B
सामग्री
- Bourbon 2 oz
- Benedictine 1/2 oz
विधि
Pour the bourbon and Benedictine into a brandy snifter.
The Kentucky B and B is a minimalist sipper that combines bourbon with a measure of Bénédictine herbal liqueur, served neat in a brandy snifter. The Bénédictine's complex blend of 27 herbs and spices adds extraordinary depth to the bourbon's caramel and vanilla character. It is the bourbon-world equivalent of the classic B&B digestif, which pairs Cognac with Bénédictine.
History & Origins
The original B&B (Brandy and Bénédictine) is a classic digestif created in the 1930s, and the Kentucky B and B adapts this formula for the American palate by substituting bourbon for brandy. Bénédictine, produced by the Bénédictine monks of Fécamp, France since 1863, pairs naturally with the vanilla-caramel notes common to aged American bourbon. The exact origin of this specific drink is disputed.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Rich bourbon caramel, vanilla, and oak, overlaid with Bénédictine's complex honey, herb, and spice notes. Palate: Warm and structured — bourbon's sweetness and wood tannins are enriched by Bénédictine's honeyed herb complexity, creating a layered digestif experience. Finish: Very long, warming, and herbal, with honey and vanilla persisting.
Pro Tip
Use a quality aged bourbon (at least 6 years) to ensure sufficient oak and vanilla character to stand up to Bénédictine's assertive herbal complexity.
