Chartreuse 138 Proof Végétal de la Grande-Chartreuse 100mL Flask

The Carthusian monks spent over a century and a half developing this recipe, with Brother Jérôme Maubec finalizing the ultimate recipe in 1764 - "Plant Elixir of the Grande Chartreuse", since which it has remained unchanged. It was quickly distributed as a care product to local populations, especially during the cholera crisis of 1832, in which it may not have cured the cholera, but it gave some very sick people a taste of the heavens. A "Brother Charles" was the first to market it in local markets, descending on a donkey from the monastery to sell this mysterious and enchanting elixir.  It is a cordial, a digestive and a very effective tonic:- Pure in a teaspoon- In herbal tea or hot toddy with honey and lemon- A few drops on a piece of sugar, on a meringue- In a cup of water in case of fatigue, discomfort or indisposition- A few drops in a cocktail to bring a herbaceous note
