    Peter's Pick
    Whilst Benedictine’s origins are undoubtedly medieval, the modern liqueur derives from 1863. The industrialist and wine-merchant Alexandre Le Grand concocted it from a recipe discovered in a 16th century grimoire belonging the Benedictine abbey in Fecamp, Normandy. Made from a variety of variety of herbs and spices, the aromatic herbal liqueur has always been marketed in its distinctive bottle adorned with the motto DOM (Deo Optimo Maximo). These particular bottles are believed to be from the 1940s and 1950s. A must for any serious drinks cabinet, Benedictine can be used in many cocktails including the well-known Vieux Carre and Singapore Sling.
