A litre bottle of Chartreuse Yellow liqueur from France. We estimate this was bottled between 1878 and 1903, when production was located at Fourvoirie, France.
This main label is missing and there is a handwritten label which reads: Veritable Chartreuse Tres Vieille.
The top of the cork is covered with residue of the original wax seal. This bottle was stored on its side in a cool, dark cellar for around 50 years before being consigned to auction.
Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear to the glass, label and closure. Most of the original wax seal is missing, but the top of the cork is covered with the original wax residue. A small fragment of the original paper capsule is still in place.
The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. Older bottles often contain small amounts of sediment. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
