Liqueur Chartreuse Reine des Liqueurs 43% - 70cl
Chartreuse Reine des Liqueurs is a edition liqueur, produced by monks at the Grande Chartreuse, the head monastery of the Carthusian religious order, in Voiron – near Grenoble, in France. Nowadays, Chartreuse is still produced according to the original recipe from the 18th century.
This liqueur is an homage to the time when Chartreuse was one of the most popular herbal liqueurs in Europe and when it was also referred to as the queen of liqueurs (Reine des Liqueurs).
Chartreuse Reine des Liqueurs is a cuvee from selected casks of Chartreuse Jaune, aged for a couple of years.
This Chartreuse has some herbaceous notes and floral notes of chamomile and green anise. This taste reminds us of the golden age of Chartreuse in the 19th century.

The production of Chartreuse liqueur is wound up in many secrets and myths. There are only two monks, Minister Benoit and Brother Jean-Jacques, who know the 130 various ingredients of the original recipe. Other sources relating to the original recipe are known by a third monk. We are relatively sure that ca. 1/3 of the ingredients originate in the Chartreuse region and the other 2/3 come from all over the world. All the ingredients, even including the coloring agents, used in all the charterhouse-produced liqueurs are 100% organic.
