History of Benedictine liquor begun in 1510 in Normandy, France by a Benedictine monk, Dom Bernardo Vincelli. It was an elixir of medicinal plants and spices intended to revive tired monks. The monks produced it until the French Revolution in 1789. At the time, the recipe was lost but Alexandre Le Grand, a wine merchant, rediscovered the recipe in 1863 and named it after the monks.
It makes a great piece on a Fall tablescape or in a religious setting holding Holy water or oil. Simply add a cork.
