The making of Bénédictine® takes two years and requires all the skill and know-how of the Master Distiller. He safeguards the secrets of the slow preparation of this liqueur. The full extent of his experience and skill is required to bring each of the stages in the process to perfection and to bring this exquisite alchemy to life. Some of the herbs and spices have been used since the biblical times and many still have a place in folk remedies. The origin of these plants is like a journey around the world: from Greece to Africa, to Indonesia, India and so much more. Bénédictine® selects product ingredients from the five continents with quality as the sole criterion of choice.The final blend is then aged in large oak barrels for four months. This final ageing process is necessary to put the finishing touch to the subtle balance between the ingredients, as they blend together in a subtle alchemy.The composition obtained will be filtered to guarantee the impeccable quality of Bénédictine®. After two long years of labour, Bénédictine® is born.
