CHARTREUSE: it is a French herbal liqueur, made by macerating certain herbs in a high-proof brandy. The liqueur is named after the Carthusian monastery of La Grande Chartreuse, taking its name from the Chartreuse massif in the Alps, the French region 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 herbalists of the charterhouse considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was rescued and a century and a half later the pharmacy of the Grand 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 nearby Grenoble and Chambéry, but its popularity grew. From the vegetal elixir, the Carthusians developed a digestif they called “Liqueur de santé” (Health Liqueur).
The French Revolution scattered the monastic order in 1793 and the monks stopped distilling their liqueur. In 1816, they returned to the Grand Chartreuse monastery and resumed their activity. From 1840 they produced the so-called chartreuse jaune, milder than its predecessor, the chartreuse verte. In 1860 they built the monastery’s distillery.
In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They took their secret and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain) which became the production center of the liqueur, called “Tarragona.” It was also manufactured in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name “Tarragona.”
