DOM Benedictine French Liqueur 70 cl 40%

From monastery wall to cocktail glass - D.O.M Bénédictine carries one of the spirits world's oldest stories and a recipe carefully preserved since the 1500s.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

D.O.M Bénédictine is a French herbal liqueur that, according to tradition, was first formulated in 1510 by the Benedictine monk Dom Bernardo Vincelli at Fécamp Abbey in Normandy, bottled at 40% ABV.

After the recipe was lost during the French Revolution, it was rediscovered in 1863 by wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand, who had the lavish Palais Bénédictine built in Fécamp and founded the distillery where the liqueur is still produced today. Behind the liqueur stand 27 different plants and spices, with angelica, hyssop and lemon balm as the three key main ingredients.

Smag

The liqueur offers a full-bodied, spiced flavour with a hint of honey and citrus that gives a crisp freshness amid the deep spice character. The golden colour and rich, creamy texture leave a warm, lasting finish.
