Description from the seller
Fuchsia-colored antique siphons of the CHARTREUSE international liquor brand. Enjoy the photographs to understand the beauty of these siphons; they feature blue taps or heads from the brands Carbónicas Espumosos Troncoso Orense and Carbónicas Espumosos Antonio Prado Lugo, the most sought after, a beauty with many years of age, in good condition for collectors and decoration. Seltzer water. They may have slight scuffs or small glass flaws.
CHARTREUSE: it is a French herbal liqueur, produced by macerating certain herbs in a high-alcohol spirit. The liqueur is named in honor of the Carthusian monastery of Grande Chartreuse, “the Grand Chartreuse,” takes its 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 cartuxians’ herb gatherers considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was rescued, and a century and a half later the pharmacy of the Grande Chartreuse, in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, began to produce the so-called “Élixir végétal” (Vegetal Elixir) and to market it in 1764. Distribution was limited to the nearby Grenoble and Chambéry, but its popularity grew. From the vegetal elixir, the Carthusians produced a digestif called “Liqueur de santé” (Health Liquor).
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 Chartreuse jaune (yellow Chartreuse), milder than its predecessor, Chartreuse verte. In 1860 they built the monastery’s distillery.
In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They carried their secret and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain), which became the center of liqueur production, called “Tarragona.” It was also manufactured in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name “Tarragona.”
