Elixir Végétal de la Grande‑Chartreuse
Herbal Liqueur (Digestif) | 69% ABV (138 Proof) | 100 mL
Process & Profile
Elixir Végétal de la Grande‑Chartreuse is a highly concentrated herbal liqueur crafted by Carthusian monks in the French Alps using a secret recipe dating back to 1764. It’s made from 130 botanicals—plants, flowers, spices, roots, bark, and berries—undergoing a multistep process: distillation to capture aroma, maceration for color, and extraction for medicinal potency. Bottled at 69% ABV (138 proof), it’s encased in a protective wooden box and traditionally consumed as a digestive aid or tonic.
