GRANDE CHARTREUSE Green 55° 35cl
The famous Chartreuse liqueurs need no introduction!
Green Chartreuse:
Created in 1840, the "Liqueur de Santé" was the first liqueur to come from the original recipe of the Grande Chartreuse Vegetable Elixir. It was so popular that Father Garnier, procurator and head of liqueurs at the time, later decided to officially name it Green Chartreuse, and registered the "Chartreuse" trademark in 1852. It is still made and produced today by the Carthusian Fathers in their Aiguenoire distillery in Entre-Deux-Guiers (Isère - France).
Composition: alcohol, sugar, water, plant substances (130 plants, flowers, barks, roots and spices).
Alcohol content: 55% vol.
Production: Green Chartreuse derives its unique character from its natural color, its power and its aromatic complexity, coming from the 130 plants, flowers, barks, roots and spices.
Its production requires several weeks of work and involves several stages:
- Milling prepared by the monks in the herb room at the Grande Chartreuse monastery.
- Distillation to obtain the aroma.
- Different types of cold maceration/infusion to extract the active ingredients from the plants. Distillation to obtain the aroma.
- Aging in oak foudres before bottling.
