CHARTREUSE - Elixir 1605 Liqueur - Jeroboam Format - 2026 Bottling - 56%
The Chartreuse – Elixir 1605 Liqueur – Jeroboam – 2026 Bottling – 56% pays tribute to the year 1605, when the Carthusian monks received the mysterious manuscript that is the origin of the Elixir Vegetal. This cuvée is directly inspired by this founding recipe and offers a modernized interpretation, more accessible while retaining remarkable intensity. Produced by the Carthusian Fathers according to a craft unchanged for over four centuries, it is made from 130 plants, flowers, roots, and spices, the exact composition of which remains secret. Presented here in Jeroboam format (3 liters), this 2026 bottling has an exceptional character, both for its prestigious volume and its collectible dimension. It embodies the living history of Chartreuse in a spectacular and rare version.
More concentrated and powerful than the traditional Green Chartreuse, the Elixir 1605 Liqueur displays 56% alcohol, offering a broad structure and striking aromatic intensity. The nose reveals an explosion of herbal, mentholated, and spicy notes, enriched with balsamic and resinous nuances. On the palate, the attack is lively, deep, and warm, supported by an impressive vegetal richness. The texture is dense and enveloping, with a perfectly controlled progressive rise in power. The finish is long, persistent, marked by characteristic menthol freshness and remarkable spicy complexity.
Served very fresh, on ice or as a digestif, this cuvée reveals all its aromatic depth. It can also enhance some characterful cocktails or accompany a contemplative tasting. The Jeroboam format accentuates its prestige and makes it a prized piece for collectors and passionate Chartreuse lovers. A historic, powerful, and rare liqueur that combines monastic tradition and extraordinary intensity.
