			===What is Benedictine D.O.M.?===

			Benedictine is a strong liqueur made from 27 herbs and spices. It has been described as having “pungent herbal and spicy flavors with a balanced sweetness”.

			In the early 1500’s Dom Bernardo Vincelli, a Venetian Monk at the Abbey of Fecamp on France’s Normandy coast, used his knowledge of spices and Dutch distillation methods to create an elixir which, when combined with the traditional bitter medicines of the Abbey, transformed them into an “Elixir of Health”, soon becoming a favorite of the Monks.

			His recipe was lost during the turmoil of the French Revolution when the Monks were dispersed. But a local notable bought the 16th century manuscript which, unbeknownst to him, had the recipe written on its pages. It was not until 1863 that Alexandre Le Grand, a distant relative of the notable, found the manuscript and successfully recreated the liqueur. After modernizing and improving the recipe, he named it Benedictine. Le Grand constructed a “Palace-Museum” building to be his distillery in 1882, where the liqueur is still made today. Although not now connected in any way to the Monks, each bottle is marked “D.O.M.” Deo Optimo Maximo, Latin for “Praise be to God, Most Good, Most Great”.

	When the skull was found and buried in April, 1940, it seems that there was a bottle nearby. [[Teng Koata]] apparently took the bottle with him to Tarawa before [[Gallagher]] began the "thorough search" suggested by his superiors. Although the bottle was recovered from Koata, it apparently was not shipped to Suva with the other things collected on Niku.
