{"product_id":"chartreuse-1605","title":"Chartreuse Liqueur d'Elixir 1605","description":"\u003cp\u003eChartreuse Liqueur d'Elixir 1605 is a tribute to the manuscript that began one of the spirits world's greatest stories. Created in 2005 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the mysterious recipe entrusted to the Carthusian monks in 1605, this limited expression bridges the gap between the powerful Herbal Elixir and the modern Green Chartreuse. Inspired by the monks' early \u003cem data-start=\"382\" data-end=\"400\"\u003eLiqueur de Santé\u003c\/em\u003e (\"Health Liqueur\"), it offers a glimpse of what Green Chartreuse may have tasted like in its earliest form. It is crafted from the same closely guarded recipe of 130 herbs, plants, and flowers and bottled at a robust 56% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, Liqueur d'Elixir 1605 is intensely aromatic yet beautifully composed. Bright mint, alpine herbs, anise, fennel, pine resin, sage, citrus peel, and warming spice unfold over a rich, honeyed core. Compared with standard Green Chartreuse, it is often perceived as slightly drier, more herbal, and less overtly sweet, with a firmer botanical structure and a lingering, almost medicinal complexity that rewards slow contemplation. The finish is exceptionally long, echoing with layers of fresh herbs, pepper, and cooling menthol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it makes a fascinating and distinctive cocktail ingredient, Chartreuse Liqueur d'Elixir 1605 is best appreciated neat, lightly chilled, or over a single cube of ice, where its remarkable depth and centuries-old monastic craftsmanship can be fully appreciated. It is both a collector's bottle and a living piece of spirits history, offering an unforgettable expression of the legendary Chartreuse tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHERN WINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51398182469938,"sku":"3023481100707","price":149.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/1605.png?v=1782868199","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/chartreuse-1605","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
