Celebrate over 900 years of Carthusian heritage with the exceptional Chartreuse Liqueur du 9ème Centenaire – 2025 Release, a rare and limited-edition liqueur created in honour of the founding of the Carthusian Order in 1084. Originally introduced in 1984 for the Order's 900th anniversary, this special bottling is a symbol of tradition, mystery, and monastic craftsmanship that continues to captivate collectors and spirits enthusiasts worldwide.
Produced by the Carthusian monks in the French Alps using a closely guarded secret recipe of 130 herbs and botanicals, this limited release of Centenaire is matured longer than classic Chartreuse for enhanced complexity and smoothness. The 2025 release is a testament to the enduring legacy of the world's most legendary herbal liqueur - available only in small batches and presented in its signature bottle, distinguished by a unique label and wax seal.
