  We apply the recently proposed flavoured anti-$k_{\text{T}}$ jet algorithm to
$Wb\bar{b}$ production at the Large Hadron Collider at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. We
present results for the total cross section and differential distributions at
the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. We discuss the effects of the
remaining parametric freedom in the flavoured anti-$k_{\text{T}}$ prescription,
and compare it against the standard flavour-$k_{\text{T}}$ algorithm. We
compare the total cross section results against the CMS data, finding good
agreement. The NNLO QCD corrections are significant, and their inclusion
substantially improves the agreement with the data.
