CHARTREUSE | FRANCE 70 cl / 43° Type: Liqueur Raw material: Alcohol, herbs, spices, aromas, sugar, honey Production method: Pot Still distillation The Chartreuse liqueur dates back to 1605, when in a monastery near Paris the monks received as a gift from Henry IV's Marshal a manuscript containing the recipe of an alchemist with a great knowledge of herbs and the ability to process them to create a beneficial remedy. After years spent trying to interpret the manuscript, the first practical formula for the reproduction of this Elixir of Long Life was drawn up in the early 1700s. Today, this recipe is reproduced exclusively by the Chartreuse monks, who use the ancient manuscript to recreate what is now called the Grand-Chartreuse Herbal Elixir. The recipe, kept secret, contains 130 herbs that are macerated in quality alcohol and then distilled. It is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years in the evocative cellars of Voiron. Chartreuse Jaune is the sweeter version of the famous Chartreuse Verte, now available with a higher alcohol content (43° instead of the previous 40°) that enhances its aromatic range. To be drunk as an after-dinner digestive or over ice. It is also excellent for use in the creation of cocktails.
