A considerable portion of the production of liqueurs was done by the monastic orders
between the fourteenth century and the early seventeenth century. Physicians believed that herb liqueurs could treat and/or prevent illnesses. Although liqueurs were entering the mainstream as a delicious drink, its medicinal roots were still much in evidence in the eighteenth century.
These 'eaux-de-vie' were in the process of passing from the domain of the monks and apothecaries into the hands of the Dutch merchants.
