Created to mark the 900th anniversary of the Carthusian Order, this liqueur is produced by the Carthusian Monks in France. It draws on the same secret recipe tradition as Chartreuse, incorporating a complex blend of 130 herbs, plants, and flowers, but is styled to be softer and more rounded than the classic Green and Yellow expressions. The release reflects both heritage and craftsmanship, offering a commemorative interpretation that balances intensity with accessibility.
Botanicals are macerated, distilled, and then aged in oak casks, allowing the components to integrate and develop additional depth. Compared to the core range, this expression places greater emphasis on harmony and texture, with a slightly sweeter and more approachable profile. Positioned in the premium tier, it represents a refined and celebratory bottling, combining historical significance with a polished, well-balanced style.
