In 1951 they become official supplier to the Royal Court of England, King George VI and this also is portrayed a lot on their bottles (mostly to the late King, because he died in 1952.) They also have been supplier for the Dutch court (Prince Bernard des Pays Bas). This is used quite often on the modern bottles. In 1923 Bisquit chooses a griffion as their emblem. The most used emblem on Bisquit bottles is the portrait of Saint Martial, patron saint of Limoges. It could be only BD&Co or the Bisquit-Dubouché signature. Somestimes only the name Bisquit is printed in capitals on the bottle, but most of the time you can spot Dubouché or Ricard somewhere mentioned too.

Another merger with Pernod took place, which led to the disappearance of the name Bisquit as part of the firm name. Then in 1965 a merger with Ricard: Ricard-Bisquit. First Bisquit and Tricoche, then just Bisquit, followed by Bisquit-Dubouché when Alexandre’s son partnered with his father-in-law in 1846 after another marriage: Laporte-Bisquit.
