Bénédictine Liqueur 1950s Bottling

Dom Bénédictine 1950s bottling is a herbal liqueur from Normandy, France. Its recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, purportedly known to only three people at any given time, and the company maintains a Hall of Counterfeits on its grounds in Fécamp. The manufacturing process involves several distillations which are then blended. The recipe is known to contain 27 herbs and spices, of which 21 are publicly known: 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, leaving six unknown ingredients.
