Benedictine D.O.M. Liqueur

"From the moment it was created, Benedictine met with worldwide success, even as far afield as the United States. In the 1930s, during Prohibition in the United States, a barman at Club 21 in Manhattan came up with the idea of mixing brandy with the Benedictine liqueur.The drink rapidly became famous under the name of B&B (Benedictine & Brandy), to the extent that, in 1937, it was decided to produce B&B at the Palais. Nevertheless, a slight improvement was made to the original recipe because now it is cognac and not brandy that is added to the Benedictine. The cognac is added during the final blending operation before the last four months of ageing.This harmonious marriage of cognac and Benedictine gives B&B remarkable lightness and a mouth-watering mellow softness." —producer

"First created in Milan in 1815, Ramazzotti still sticks to its recipe secret. Thirty-three carefully selected herbs give Amaro Ramazzotti its particular flavour, balanced by a distinctive aftertaste of orange peel aroma as well as cardamom, myrrh, galangal, cinnamon and....well, we've give away enough already! The bottle in unmistakeable, essentially maintaining the blue, red and white design that Ausano himself (the inventor of the liqueur) first cam up with in 1815." -producer

"Armenian brandy Ararat 'Akhtamar,' named after the beautiful legend about the love of Princess Tamar for a brave young man who conquered the harsh waters of Lake Van every night for her sake, today itself gives rise to legends. We have created an exceptional blend of more than fifteen distillates, providing this brandy with a full, soft, silky and pleasantly tart taste with a long-lasting aftertaste." —producer

"It presents great aromatic intensity with fresh fruit such as plums and blackberries. Elegance and freshness characterize this wine with an elegant, harmonious and gastronomic profile. A great choice for a daily wine." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-I have always told my customers that the best "dollar for quality" ratio can usually be found in Portugal and this particular bottle exemplifies this perfectly. From the region of Alentejano, these grapes were stored and vinified at low temperatures in order to preserve all the intense aromas and flavors found here. An absolute steal for this money. A must try!!
