Chartreuse1605 56% 70cl
It was first created in 2005 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the handing over of the Elixir de Longue vie manuscript by Marshal d'Estrées to the Chartreux de Vauvert. This liqueur is inspired by the “liqueur de santé” or “Elixir de table” developed at the beginning of the 19th century, which in 1840 became the Chartreuse Verte.
The "Liqueur d'Elixir" is a blend liqueur. To create this liqueur, the Carthusians have put all their know-how and knowledge to select a traditional green Chartreuse liqueur by integrating, in a perfect balance, the power of the Elixir Végétal.
Tasting Notes :
Appearance: vibrant green color typical of Chartreuse
Nose: herbal and aromatic, with rich and fragrant notes of mint, anise, sage, thyme, and eucalyptus. There may also be hints of citrus, and a faint background of spicy and woody undertones from the aging process.
Palate: bold and intense, with the classic herbal flavors of Chartreuse (anise, mint, bitter orange, and juniper) coming through powerfully. The 56% alcohol makes the flavor profile potent and pronounced, with a spicy heat that lingers.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, with the herbal bitterness becoming more prominent as the alcohol evaporates, leaving a spicy, slightly peppery aftertaste.
Land : France, Isère
Distillery : Grande Chartreuse Monastery
