History Of DOM Benedictine
Claimed to be brewed with a recipe developed by Benedictine monks in Normandy, France in the early 16 th century, DOM Benedictine is actually a product invented by the French wine merchant and aristocrat, Alexandre Le Grand in the middle of the 19 th century. While the story about whether the liqueur was actually made with the authentic Benedictine monks’ recipe has been much disputed since the production of the drink, it is without doubt that authentic recipe or not, this timeless liqueur is enjoyed by all.
The abbreviation D.O.M. is printed on every bottle of every DOM Benedictine ever sold, it stands for the Latin words “Deo Optimo Maximo”. Loosely translated, this term means “to God, the most good, the most great”, which claims that Benedictine DOM is a liqueur that even God would drink, and serves as a reminder to the liqueur’s origin from ancient monks.
