D.O.M. Benedictine Liqueur 750ML

A Secret 16th-Century French Recipe of 27 Herbs, Roots & Spices

Immerse your home bar in rich centuries-old alchemy with dom benedictine liqueur. First created in 1510 by Benedictine monk Dom Bernardo Vincelli at the Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy, France, this iconic herbal liqueur is crafted from a closely guarded secret blend of 27 herbs, roots, plants, and spices—including hyssop, lemon balm, saffron, angelica, and nutmeg. Aged in oak barrels to allow its complex flavors to harmonize, each bottle prominently bears the letters D.O.M., standing for "Deo Optimo Maximo" ("To God, most good, most great").

At 40% ABV (80 proof), D.O.M. Bénédictine balances honeyed sweetness with warm baking spices, delicate floral notes, and a subtle herbal complexity. An indispensable cocktail building block, it is essential for classic recipes like the Singapore Sling, Vieux Carré, and Bobby Burns, as well as being served neat as a warm, comforting digestif.
