Emile Smits

The history of this legendary liqueur has its roots in the distant 1605, when a small group of Carthusian monks received from Marshal D’Estrees a manuscript containing the recipe for a complex and articulated Elixir of Long Life. It will take at least 150 years before the brotherhood, established in the Grande Chartreuse massif, in the French Alps, begins to produce the range of liqueurs that we know. Chartreuse is today the oldest liqueur on the market and has loyal followers all over the world: including the famous American director Quentin Tarantino, who mentions it in his films, and the fashion designer Giorgio Armani.

PRODUCTION METHOD

The production of Chartreuse is particularly complex. The majority of the botanicals used come from the French and Italian Alps. The treatment phase of the herbs is secret. Only the monks of the monastery can carry it out. Some herbs are infused, others distilled in “baskets” to release the most delicate aromas. Chlorophyll gives the intense green color and saffron the yellow. Only two monks, Don Benoit and Brother Jan Jacques, participate in the second secret phase of the production process. The alcohol is left to mature in large barrels of thousands of liters for at least three years, from here the Green and the Yellow come out. With over 15 years of aging we have an Extremely Extended Ageing reference, the green VEP and the yellow VEP, which continue aging in small barriques.

In 1605, Duke Francois Hannibal D'estrès delivered a mysterious manuscript with the formula for an elixir of long life to the Carthusian fathers of the Chartreuse of Vauvert in Paris. After meticulous work by the fathers to decipher the formula, it was Father Jerome Maubec, apothecary of the Grande Chartreuse, who perfected the recipe for the Elixir. The potential to transform the recipe for an alcoholic remedy into a drink suitable for tasting was almost immediately evident. After more than 400 years of history, the Carthusian fathers revived the first recipe by calling it "Liqueur d'Elixir" to commemorate the delivery of the manuscript to the Carthusians of Vauvert in 1605.

Chartreuse 1605 Liqueur D'Elixir is obtained directly from the Elixir Végétal and old Chartreuse. This edition, limited in production each year, has a strong gradation of 56% vol. It celebrates the discovery of the manuscript with the recipe of the Elixir Vegetal, dating back to 1605.
