Benedictine D.O.M. is an herbal liqueur beverage invented by Alexandre Legrand in the 19th century and produced in France. D.O.M. stands for Deo Optimo Maximo which means 'To God, most good, most great.' The Benedictine recipe contains 27 plants and spices, primarily Angelica, hyssop and lemon balm.
It has a medium to deep amber color with a greenish-gold rim. Its aromas include a wealth of spices and fruit including cloves, cardamon and liquorice, mingled with honey, butterscotch, prune and orange. Its taste is full of herbs and spices, but it has a balanced sweetness. It is intense but displays true complexity.
