✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Following their expulsion from France in 1903, the Carthusian Monks established a distillery in Tarragona, Spain, where they produced their legendary liqueurs for decades. This 1921 'Tarragone Jaune' (Yellow Chartreuse) represents a pinnacle of spirits history, crafted from the closely guarded secret recipe of 130 botanicals. Unlike its green counterpart, the Yellow Chartreuse is softer, sweeter, and characterized by prominent notes of honey, saffron, anise, and mild spices. Decades of bottle aging have integrated these complex botanicals into a seamless, silky elixir of unparalleled depth, highly prized by collectors worldwide.
🍾 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.
