Don Bernado Vincelli originally designed the ‘elixir’ to sustain the monks in their work and as a probably useless defence against malaria and was the first branded liqueur medicine. The liqueur uses twenty-seven herbs and spices. The D.O.M. stands for Deo Optimo Maximo which means - To God most good, most great.

Burnley Miners’ Club in Lancashire, United Kingdom is the world’s biggest single consumer of Bénédictine liqueur, after Lancashire regiments acquired a taste for it during the First World War. Burnley Football Club also sells Bénédictine on match days, making them the only English club to do this.
