AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique CHARTREUSE brand green siphons from the international liqueur brand. Enjoy the photographs to understand the beauty of these siphons; they feature taps or heads in blue with the brands Carbónicas Espumosos UFAGSA Orense—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, made by macerating certain herbs in a high-proof alcohol. The liqueur is named in honor of the Carthusian monastery of La Grande Chartreuse, “the Great Charterhouse.” It takes its name from the Chartreuse massif, in the French Alps, the 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 monks’ herbalists considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was recovered, and a century and a half later the pharmacy at the Grand Chartreuse, in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, began to produce what was called the “Élixir végétal” (Vegetal Elixir) and to commercialize 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 named “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 distillery.
In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They took their secret and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain), which became the center for producing the liqueur, called “Tarragona.” It was also manufactured in Marseille from 1921 to 1929 under the same name, “Tarragona.”
