✨ Technical Specifications
This highly coveted historic bottling of Green Chartreuse represents a legendary era of production at the Voiron distillery between 1956 and 1964. Bearing the 'Fabriquée' distinction, this expression showcases the secret recipe of 130 botanicals meticulously gathered and blended by the Carthusian Monks. Unlike modern releases, mid-century Chartreuse has undergone decades of glass aging, a phenomenon that miraculously softens the spirit's fiery 55% ABV. Over time, the intense, medicinal herb notes of anise, mint, and pine harmonize with rich, honeyed textures and complex layers of saffron, musk, and damp earth, creating an unparalleled sensory journey through monastic history.
🍾 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.
