Bénédictine DOM
The truly delicious French liqueur Bénédictine DOM was originally created as an elixir to keep working monks energized. D.O.M. stands for “Deo Optimo Maximo," which means “To the Best, the Greatest God.” The flavor is deeply infused with spices and herbs. Rich and aromatic.
To produce the liqueur, 27 ingredients of herbs and spices are used. Almost on the 500th anniversary of the production of this liqueur, the Benedictine monastery in Fecamp on the Normandy coast burned down. The monastery was destroyed during the French Revolution and has been produced by Alexander Le Grand since then.
Don Bernado Vincelli created this liqueur for the monks as a defense against malaria, as the monastery was near swamps, but like everything else, it was not a cure for malaria. It kept the monks in good spirits while working and was the first medicinal liqueur in history. It is felt with an overwhelming amount of spices and fruity aroma – cloves, cardamom, and licorice blend with honey, caramel, and a hint of orange.
