The inscription found on every bottle of Benedictine (D.O.M) stands for 'Deo Optimo Maximi' meaning 'To God, most God, most great.' The discovery of Benedictine is credited to one of the Benedicitne monks in 1510. The still-secret formula of Benedictine is known only by three persons in the world. Including some plants and herbs, some twenty-seven altogether have been carefully guarded and handed down through generations as the recipe for Benedictine.
