Bénédictine D.O.M. Liqueur (1L)

A 1980s bottle of the classic French liqueur Bénédictine D.O.M., made to a recipe created as an elixir for working monks. The letters stand for Deo Optimo Maximo. The recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, purportedly known to only three people at any given time. It contains 27 herbs and spices, of which 21 are publicly known, including angelica, hyssop, juniper, myrrh, saffron, mace, fir cones, aloe, arnica, lemon balm, tea, thyme, coriander, clove, lemon, vanilla, orange peel, honey, red berries, cinnamon and nutmeg. The manufacturing process involves several distillations which are then blended.
