Let’s talk about Chartreuse 1605 Verde Liqueur D'Elixir 70cl

More questions

The Chartreuse 1605 Verde Liqueur D'Elixir is a refined spirit, crafted in France following a centuries-old recipe safeguarded by the monks of Grande Chartreuse. This exclusive edition commemorates the year when the original recipe was entrusted to the monks, dating back to 1605. Crafted with a blend of 130 herbs, plants, and flowers harvested from the surrounding mountains, each ingredient is meticulously selected to create a complex and distinctive taste.

Its vivid green color is entirely natural, derived from the plants themselves without the addition of artificial colorants. On the palate, Chartreuse 1605 presents intense flavors of herbs, spices, and floral notes, with a subtle bittersweet aftertaste that lingers pleasantly. The versatility of this liqueur makes it perfect both for enjoying straight, perhaps slightly chilled, and as a base for sophisticated cocktails.

Each bottle is a piece of history, a tribute to the herbal tradition of the Carthusian monks and an excellent choice for connoisseurs seeking unique and authentic drinking experiences.

  • Current production carried out at the Aiguenoire site (Entre-deux-Guiers) with commercial management via Chartreuse Diffusion.

The story
The Chartreuse recipe originates from a manuscript given to the Carthusian monks in 1605; after centuries of refinement the Elixir Végétal was fixed in 1764. In the 19th century liqueur versions (Green and Yellow Chartreuse) were developed. Modern production is overseen by the Carthusian Fathers and commercialisation is managed by Chartreuse Diffusion; production is today concentrated at the Aiguenoire site (Entre-deux-Guiers) with historical ties to the Chartreuse massif and the town of Voiron.
Distillation
Aromatic distillation combined with multiple macerations, extraction and cold infusions, followed by blending and ageing; processes and formulations are managed under the strict supervision of the order.
Ageing
Ageing in oak vats/tanks (including extended cycles for V.E.P. cuvées); timings and methods are part of the reserved procedure.
