Using twenty-seven ingredients of herbs & spices the D.O.M. stands for Deo Optimo Maximo which means
- To God most good, most great. Close to its 500th birthday & produced at the Benedictine Monastery at Fecamp on the coast of Normandy, France since 1510. The monastery was destroyed during the French revolution & has since been produced by Alexandre le Gr&. Don Bernado Vincelli originally designed the 'elixir' to sustain the monks in their work, & as a probably useless defence against malaria, as they were close to large marshlands, & was the first branded liqueur medicine. Medium to deep amber with a greenish-gold rim. Nose: Pronounced & complex nose offering a wealth of spice & fruit aromas. Cloves, cardamorn & liquorice mingle with honey, butterscotch, prune & orange. Palate: Pungent herbal & spicy flavours mingle with a pleasing balanced sweetness. It is intensely on the palate but displays real complexity.
