- Description
- This 1960s bottling of Benedictine D.O.M represents one of Europe's oldest herbal liqueurs, unchanged in recipe for centuries. The characteristic blend of 27 herbs and spices would deliver honeyed sweetness, gentle bitterness, and warming spice in the traditional French style. At 42% and likely slightly oxidised after decades in glass, the bottle serves more as a historical artefact than a contemporary spirit. Suited to collectors of vintage liqueurs and those exploring pre-modern bottling practices.
