✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This legendary bottling hails from the Carthusian Monks' historic period of exile in Tarragona, Spain, where they distilled their world-famous liqueur from 1903 until 1989. The 'El Gruno' bottling from the 1965-1966 period represents a highly collectible era of Tarragona production. Unlike the French expressions of the same era, Tarragona Chartreuse is celebrated for a distinctively warmer, sweeter, and more intensely aromatic profile, often showing pronounced notes of anise, honeyed citrus, rosemary, and thyme. Handcrafted using the secret recipe of 130 botanicals macerated in grape spirit and aged in oak, this historic spirit has slowly evolved in the bottle for over half a century, developing an unparalleled complexity that bridges monastic tradition and liquid history.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
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.
