Chartreuse – Elixir Liqueur 1605 – Jeroboam 3 L – Bottling 2025 – 56%
Since the 17th century, Chartreuse has embodied a legend in French spirits heritage. Developed by the Carthusian Fathers from a secret recipe blending 130 plants, flowers, roots, and spices , it has its origins in the 1605 manuscript, passed down from generation to generation to just two monks. This exclusive know-how, combined with a mystery maintained for more than four centuries, makes Chartreuse a unique liqueur in the world.
Created to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the original manuscript, the Liqueur d'Élixir 1605 is the most powerful and profound expression of the Chartreuse style. At 56% vol. , it highlights a remarkable vegetal intensity and an unparalleled aromatic richness. Offered here in the prestigious 3-liter Jeroboam format, released in 2025, it is a true collector's item. This rare large format, produced in very limited quantities, gives the liqueur a slower and more harmonious evolution, further reinforcing its nobility.
Its deep, luminous green color heralds exceptional concentration. The nose displays a complex array of alpine herbs, fresh plants, balsamic resins, and lively spices. The palate, ample and vigorous, combines minty freshness, camphor notes, honeyed touches, and an impressive herbaceous depth. The finish, of striking length, stretches out over persistent spicy and vegetal nuances, embodying all the power and elegance of Chartreuse Élixir 1605. In its Jeroboam format, it achieves a unique dimension, intended for collectors and special occasions.
