Description from the seller
Ancient yellow CHARTREUSE brand siphons from the international liqueurs brand. Enjoy the photographs to understand the beauty of these siphons; they feature taps or heads in gray bearing the marks Carbónicas Espumosos Arousana Villagarcía de Arosa Pontevedra and Carbónicas Espumosos Ojea Puente áreas Pontevedra, the most sought-after, a beauty with many years of age, in good condition for collectors and decoration. Seltzer water. They may have slight scratches or small glass flaws.
CHARTREUSE: it is a French herbal liqueur, made by macerating certain herbs in a high-proof distillate. The liqueur is named after the Carthusian monastery of Grande Chartreuse “the Great Charterhouse,” taking the name from the Chartreuse massif in the Alps, the region of France where the monastery is located.
History
In 1605, the Duke of Estrées handed the Carthusian monks of Paris a strange manuscript with a formula called the “Élixir de Longue Vie” (Elixir of Long Life). After several unsuccessful attempts, the cartujos’ herbists considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was rescued and a century and a half later the Gran Chartreuse pharmacy, in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, began producing the so-called “Élixir végétal” (Vegetal Elixir) and marketed it in 1764. Distribution was limited to nearby Grenoble and Chambéry, but its popularity grew. From the vegetal elixir, the Carthusians produced a digestif they called “Liqueur de santé” (Health Liqueur).
The French Revolution dispersed the monastic order in 1793 and the monks stopped distilling their liqueur. In 1816, they returned to the Grande Chartreuse monastery and resumed their activity. From 1840 they produced the so-called yellow Chartreuse, milder than its predecessor, the green Chartreuse. In 1860 they built the monastery’s distillery.
In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They carried away their secret and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain), which became the production center of the liqueur, called “Tarragona.” It was also produced in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name “Tarragona.”
