Benedictine is sublime, unique and one of the finest French liqueurs available. This liqueur is based on a secret recipe by French Benedictine monks said to date back to 1510 and is based on local medicinal plants enhanced by oriental spices. The recipe has been preserved and to this day, Benedictine is made using the same traditional craftsmanship. Created in the countryside of Normandy, France, this liqueur draws from the subtle alchemy of 27 herbs and spices, carefully sourced from around the world. Made using a complex process with original copper pot stills, this liqueur takes over a year to make and requires the skill of a master distiller.
