A truly exceptional find for the discerning collector, this bottle of D.O.M. B&B Liqueur represents a perfectly preserved piece of the brand's history from 1995. This particular release celebrates the inspired blend of historic Bénédictine Liqueur with the finest French Cognac, a harmonious combination that has captivated connoisseurs for decades. Bottled in France at the legendary Bénédictine facilities in Fécamp, this liqueur carries a legacy that stretches back to 1863, when founder Alexandre Le Grand first commercialized the ancient herbal elixir.
This 1995 edition is notable not just for its age, but as a special holiday release originally presented in a gift box graced with a custom design by renowned artist John Marshall. Its presence signifies a specific moment in time, making it a rare and desirable artifact. The phrase proudly displayed on its label, "La Subtile Harmonie de Bénédictine et du Cognac," speaks to the masterful balance achieved in this celebrated spirit. For collectors of fine liqueurs, this bottle is a snapshot of late 20th-century craftsmanship, offering a glimpse into the enduring heritage of one of France’s most iconic producers.
The labels on this vintage bottle are rich with historical detail. The front neck label establishes the brand's heritage, bearing a distinguished red and gold crest and the text "FOUNDED BY ALEXANDRE LE GRAND 1863." Below, the main oval label identifies the spirit as "DOM B & B Liqueur," featuring the elegant signature of "M. le Directeur" and noting its 40% alcohol by volume in a 750ml format. The back label provides further context, describing the contents as "an inspiring blend of BENEDICTINE Liqueur and fine French Cognac," and confirms its origin as a "PRODUCT OF FRANCE," imported by Bacardi Imports, Inc. of Miami, Florida.
Visually, the bottle is a work of art. The vertically ribbed gold capsule is pristine, topped with an embossed medallion depicting a robed monk. A matching gold-colored, circular medallion featuring a detailed coat of arms is elegantly embossed on the bottle's shoulder. The distinctive shape of the bottle is complemented by its rich, dark glass, which is in excellent condition. The typography is a classic mix of serif, sans-serif, and decorative script fonts, adding to its vintage character. The fill level is high in the neck, indicating superb preservation and minimal evaporation, making it a prime example of this celebrated 1995 release.
