Chartreuse - Verte/Green - b. 2025 - 70cl - 2 bottles

Chartreuse liqueur dates back to 1605, when the monks of a monastery near Paris received a manuscript as a gift from Henry IV's Marshal containing the recipe of an alchemist with extensive knowledge of herbs and the ability to manipulate them to create a beneficial remedy.

After years spent trying to interpret the manuscript, the first practical formula for reproducing this Elixir of Long Life was devised in the early 1700s. Today, this recipe is reproduced exclusively by the monks of Chartreuse, who refer to the ancient manuscript to recreate what is now known as the Elixir Vegetale de la Grand-Chartreuse.

The recipe, kept secret, contains 130 herbs that are macerated in high-quality alcohol and subsequently distilled. It is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years in the evocative cellars of Voiron.

Chartreuse Verte, now available with a higher alcohol content (55° Verte) that enhances its aromatic range.
Drink as an after-dinner digestif or over ice. It's also excellent for creating cocktails.
