The price of a 750 ml bottle of Benedictine D.O.M. in Malaysia ranges between RM 155.00 to RM200.00 at usual market price. This is a rather competitive price when comparing with other alcoholic beverages such as whiskeys and brandies. Also similar to other hard liquors, Benedictine DOM has no actual expiry date, with some believing that like good wines, the longer you store DOM, the better it becomes. There is also no need to keep opened bottles of DOM Benedictine refrigerated, as it does not spoil easily. So, the next time you open a bottle of Benedictine DOM, take your time in appreciating this delicious herbal liqueur, if you can keep your hands off it! One last thing before I leave you. If you find yourself in Normandy, a visit to the Palais Bénédictineis a must! Purpose built to house the D.O.M. Bénédictine distillery, as the original was burned down in 1892.

The first Benedictine to live in the United States was Pierre-Joseph Didier. He came to the United States in 1790 from Paris and served in the Ohio and St. Louis areas until his death. The first actual Benedictine monastery founded was Saint Vincent Archabbey, located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1832 by Boniface Wimmer, a German monk, who sought to serve German immigrants in America. In 1856, Wimmer started to lay the foundations for St. John's Abbey in Minnesota. In 1876, Herman Wolfe, of Saint Vincent Archabbey established Belmont Abbey in North Carolina. [37] By the time of his death in 1887, Wimmer had sent Benedictine monks to Kansas, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Illinois, and Colorado. [38] Now,I definitely spy orange in there, so I think Cointreau or any other Triple Sec is the perfect companion for it. Next time you have Cointreau and Orange (one of my favourite combinations), add a shot of Bénédictine. You’ll see how it enhances the blend, in fact I think anything citrus isthe perfect balance to its sweetness. Copies of Benedict's Rule survived; around 594 Pope Gregory I spoke favorably of it. The rule is subsequently found in some monasteries in southern Gaul along with other rules used by abbots. [5] Gregory of Tours says that at Ainay Abbey, in the sixth century, the monks "followed the rules of Basil, Cassian, Caesarius, and other fathers, taking and using whatever seemed proper to the conditions of time and place", and doubtless the same liberty was taken with the Benedictine Rule when it reached them. In Gaul and Switzerland, it gradually supplemented the much stricter Irish or Celtic Rule introduced by Columbanus and others. In many monasteries it eventually entirely displaced the earlier codes.

The forty-eighth Rule of Saint Benedict prescribes extensive and habitual "holy reading" for the brethren. [34] Three primary types of reading were done by the monks in medieval times. Monks would read privately during their personal time, as well as publicly during services and at mealtimes. In addition to these three mentioned in the Rule, monks would also read in the infirmary. Monasteries were thriving centers of education, with monks and nuns actively encouraged to learn and pray according to the Benedictine Rule. Rule 38 states that 'these brothers' meals should usually be accompanied by reading, and that they were to eat and drink in silence while one read out loud.

Merci! To this day, the full recipe of Benedictine DOM. is not known to the public due to the manufacturers’ extraordinary secrecy over it. What is known is that the liqueur is made with a blend of 27 different herbs, plants and spices, of which 21 of these ingredients have been revealed, leaving six unknown ingredients that will remain a mystery. Benedictine DOM is also widely enjoyed as a drink simply mixed with brandy, creating a drink aptly called the B&B, or Benedictine and Brandy. In fact, this drink was so popular that the manufacturers of Benedictine started producing their own blend of B&B. This liqueur has a drier taste compared to neat Benedictine, resulting in a taste that is less sweet and some would enjoy it more.
The manufacturing process involves several distillations which are then blended. The recipe of Bénédictine is a commercial secret, but it is known to contain 27 herbs and spices, of which the following 21 are publicly known: [ citation needed] angelica, hyssop, juniper, myrrh, saffron, mace, fir cones, aloe, arnica, lemon balm, tea, thyme, coriander, clove, lemon, vanilla, orange peel, honey, red berries, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Originally, Benedictine D.O.M. was produced at 43% alcohol by volume, or 86 proof but after the 1930s, it is now bottled at 40% alcohol or 80 proof, which is still not a mild liqueur by any means. This alcohol percentage is similar to the average whiskey, tequila, rum and many other base spirits, and as all other alcoholic drinks, should be enjoyed responsibly.
