Description

Elixir Liqueur 1605 | Distillery of the Pères Chartreux

Born in the heart of the French Alps, the Distillery of the Pères Chartreux is a living symbol of the ancestral monastic expertise. Since the 18th century, the Carthusian monks have rigorously preserved and passed down the secret recipe of their liqueurs, including the famous Green Chartreuse. Each bottle is the result of meticulous crafting and an unwavering passion for the art of distillation.

Even today, only a few monks know the 130 medicinal plants that compose this unique elixir. This mysterious and carefully guarded recipe gives each bottle a mystical and timeless aura.

Created in 2005 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the handing over of the Elixir of Long Life manuscript to the Carthusian monks of Vauvert in Paris, this liqueur is a true piece of liquid history. Inspired by the "Health Liqueur" of the 19th century, it is the origin of the famous Green Chartreuse that we know today.

It is produced with a rigorous blend of plants and spices, revealing an exceptional aromatic power and unmatched complexity.

  • Appearance: Golden with subtle green highlights, of a radiant brilliance.
  • Nose: Intense and expressive, marked by powerful aromas of medicinal herbs, sweet spices, and resinous notes. There is also a subtle hint of fresh mint and licorice.
  • Palate: The first impression is striking, with a lively and aromatic attack. The flavors of fresh herbs, pepper, and spices intertwine precisely. The balance between sweetness and bitterness is perfectly mastered.
  • Finish: Long and persistent, it leaves an intense aromatic imprint on the palate, with a slight hint of bitter almond and honey.

The Elixir Liqueur 1605 is an exceptional spirit that can be enjoyed in different ways to reveal its complex aromas and depth.

As a digestif, serve it pure and chilled, between 10 and 12°C, for an intense and refreshing taste experience.

In a cocktail, it brings a unique aromatic dimension when used in a Chartreuse Mule or a Last Word, two classic cocktails that enhance its herbal and spicy notes.

In gastronomy, it can be used to flambé shellfish, flavor a crème brûlée, or perfume a dark chocolate ganache. It also enhances desserts like a pear poached in Chartreuse or a vanilla ice cream with toasted almonds.

Serve the Elixir Liqueur 1605 chilled, between 10 and 12°C, or on ice to soften its aromatic power. For optimal tasting, let it rest for a few moments after serving to allow the aromas to fully develop.
