CHARTREUSE - 9th Centenary Liqueur - 2026 Edition - 47% ABV
The Chartreuse – 9th Centenary Liqueur – 2026 Edition is an exceptional cuvée first created in 1984 by the renowned Carthusian Fathers to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the founding of the Order in 1084 by Saint Bruno. This prestigious liqueur pays tribute to nine centuries of monastic history, carefully preserved botanical traditions, and unique artisanal expertise. Crafted according to a secret recipe combining 130 plants, flowers, roots, and spices meticulously selected, it holds a unique and emblematic place within the Chartreuse range, positioned midway between the aromatic intensity of Green Chartreuse and the smooth sweetness of Yellow Chartreuse. The 2026 edition faithfully continues this exceptional heritage in a version highly appreciated by connoisseurs and discerning enthusiasts.
With an alcohol content of 47%, the 9th Centenary Liqueur develops a rich, complex, and perfectly structured aromatic profile. The nose opens with intense herbal notes, subtly complemented by honeyed, spicy, and slightly resinous nuances, revealing the unique character of this cuvée. On the palate, the attack is broad and warm, supported by a perfectly harmonious texture and remarkable vegetal complexity. The carefully balanced combination of freshness, controlled sweetness, and alcoholic strength gives this liqueur its own identity—both elegant, deep, and refined. The long and persistent finish is marked by mentholated and spicy touches, a characteristic signature of the inimitable Chartreuse universe. Its aging in oak casks adds roundness, depth, and subtlety to the whole.
Ideal for tasting neat, slightly chilled, or on the rocks, this liqueur reveals all its historical and aromatic richness in moments suited to contemplation. It can also enhance exceptional cocktails by bringing structure, intensity, and character. The 2026 edition will particularly appeal to passionate collectors as well as Chartreuse lovers seeking a rare cuvée with strong heritage value. A precious limited edition, a true symbol of nine centuries of tradition, excellence, and authenticity.
