Bénédictine D.O.M. French Liqueur, Made From a Secret Recipe of 27 Traditional Roots, Herbs & Spices, Notes of Light Honey, Citrus & Soft Almond, 40% ABV, 70cl / 700ml

Product Information

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.

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 replacement, completed in 1898, the year Alexander Le Grand died, is both splashy and ornate at the same time. It is a flamboyant palace with gothic and renaissance characteristics at play, in some ways, a tribute to the complexity that is this French iconic drink.Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference And if you buy it or use it, share it on any platform and tag me @azlinbloor,and hashtag it #linsfood.

Abbeys were among the institutions of the Catholic Church swept away during the French Revolution. Monasteries and convents were again allowed to form in the 19th century under the Bourbon Restoration. Later that century, under the Third French Republic, laws were enacted preventing religious teaching. The original intent was to allow secular schools. Thus in 1880 and 1882, Benedictine teaching monks were effectively exiled; this was not completed until 1901. [16] [17] [18] [19] Simpson, Fr. Benedict (2016). "Directory of Parishes".

The dominance of the Benedictine monastic way of life began to decline towards the end of the twelfth century, which saw the rise of the mendicant Franciscans and nomadic Dominicans. [6] Benedictines by contrast, took a fourth vow of "stability", which professed loyalty to a particular foundation in a particular location. Not being bound by location, the mendicants were better able to respond to an increasingly "urban" environment. This decline was further exacerbated by the practice of appointing a commendatory abbot, a lay person, appointed by a noble to oversee and to protect the assets of the monastery. Often, however, this resulted in the appropriation of the assets of monasteries at the expense of the community which they were intended to support.
