Chartreuse Green
Bottled 1912-1913 - Tarragona
100cl / 55%
A bottle of Chartreuse Green liqueur produced in Tarragona, Spain. We estimate this was bottled between 1912 and 1913.
Please note, there is no size or ABV stated but this appears to be a 100cl bottle.
Please note depression to the cork. This appears to have leaked in the past but is not currently leaking. Due to the fragility of the cork/closure we recommend this for collection only, and it is shipped entirely at the buyer's own risk.
Chartreuse has been produced by Carthusian monks in France since 1737. In the early 20th century, the monastery and distillery were nationalised by the French government. The monks, unwilling to give up their secret recipe, moved production to Tarragona, Spain. They later returned home and today all Chartreuse is produced in France.
