Thibarine is originally made by monks in the Thibar region in Tunisia. Nowadays, the monks have left but wine is still produced on the Domaine de Thibar, as well as this very sweet digestive liqueur, which is similar to Jägermeister. The ingredients are unclear; various sources say it is made of dates but this does not seem to be the case. Some other websites state that it is made of distilled wine, as cognac is made. It is probably made by macerating a number of herbs and plants, and subsequent heavy sweetening. 7.5/10
