CHARTREUSE Elixir Vegetal de la Grande-Chartreuse Liqueur Bottle (10cl) 69%abv

Description

Chartreuse Elixir Végétal de la Grande-Chartreuse embodies centuries of history, originating in 1605 when the Duke of Estrees presented the Carthusian monks with a manuscript detailing a mysterious recipe of 130 plants. For over a century, the monks refined this recipe, culminating in 1764 with the "Plant Elixir of the Grande Chartreuse." Initially distributed as a remedy during the cholera crisis of 1832, it became popular for its health benefits. The production involves distillation for aroma, maceration for natural colour, and extraction of the beneficial properties of the herbs. Known for its tonic qualities, this after-dinner drink can be enjoyed neat, in herbal teas, or with honey and lemon, fostering wellness in every drop.
