✨ Technical Specifications
This highly collectible bottling of Green Chartreuse represents a legendary era of production at the historic Voiron distillery, spanning the decade between 1982 and 1992. Crafted by the Carthusian Monks using their closely guarded 1605 recipe of 130 botanicals, this expression has undergone decades of bottle aging—a phenomenon highly prized by spirits connoisseurs. Unlike most spirits, Chartreuse continues to evolve magnificently in the glass over time. The fiery 55% ABV of its youth has mellowed, allowing the intense, medicinal herbality to integrate into a sublime, velvety tapestry of candied mint, anise, saffron, pine, and warm honeyed notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its origins to 1605 when the Carthusian monks received a mysterious manuscript detailing an 'Elixir of Long Life,' Chartreuse is one of the world's most iconic and secretive spirit producers. Perfected in 1737 at the Grande Chartreuse monastery near Grenoble, France, the sacred recipe remains strictly guarded by just two monks who oversee the selection, maceration, and distillation of 130 natural mountain herbs, plants, and flowers. Production has traversed historic milestones, including a famed period of distillation in Tarragona, Spain, before settling at their modern state-of-the-art distillery in Entre-Deux-Guiers. Renowned globally for its distinctive natural coloring and profound herbal complexity, Chartreuse produces revered expressions such as Chartreuse Verte, the softer Chartreuse Jaune, and extended oak-aged V.E.P. bottlings that evolve magnificently with age.
