Bénédictine

From Wikipedia:

Bénédictine is a herbal liqueur produced in France. Flavored with twenty-seven flowers, berries, herbs, roots, and spices, it was developed by wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand in the 19th century, and marketed as having been derived from an original recipe of Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy lost in the ashes of the French Revolution.

The recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, purportedly known to only three people at any given time.
