Quick Facts: ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Israel  |  Style: Grape Brandy (3 Star)  |  Distillery: Binyamina Winery

Production & Heritage

BBB Kosher brandy traces its origins to the Binyamina Winery, located in the town of Binyamina in northern Israel. The winery was formerly known as Eliaz, and during that era it began producing the BBB brandy line — a label that has continued under the Binyamina name. As a kosher-certified product made under rabbinical supervision, it serves a market where certified kosher spirits options remain relatively limited. BBB is classified as a three-star brandy, a designation traditionally indicating a younger spirit, and is distilled from grapes grown in Israel.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Light grape fruitiness comes forward on the nose, accompanied by mild sweetness and a faint warmth typical of younger grape brandies.

Taste: The palate is straightforward and fruit-forward. Ripe grape notes carry through the mid-palate with a touch of simple sweetness, keeping the profile approachable and uncomplicated at its 40% ABV.

Finish: The finish is relatively short with a clean, warm fade. Residual fruitiness lingers briefly before giving way to a light, dry close.

How to Drink BBB Kosher

BBB Kosher is best utilized as a cocktail and mixing brandy rather than a contemplative sipper. Its fruit-leaning, uncomplicated profile makes it a practical base spirit for a variety of classic recipes. A Brandy Sour highlights its grape character against fresh citrus. A Sidecar benefits from BBB's lighter body, letting the orange liqueur and lemon juice shine. A Brandy and Ginger Ale highball makes for an easy, refreshing serve where the brandy adds gentle warmth without dominating.

Best For

• Stocking a kosher home bar with a versatile mixing brandy
• Preparing kosher cocktails for Shabbat dinners or holiday gatherings
• Budget-friendly brandy for punch bowls and large-batch entertaining
• Kosher cooking and baking applications that call for brandy
