The original "Elixir of Long Life," this is a 400-year-old thunderbolt of alpine intensity.
The Soul of Chartreuse
This is the beating heart of Chartreuse, undiluted and untamed. Born from a 1605 manuscript, Elixir Végétal is the stuff of legend. Still made in secret by just two monks, this is the original formula: a hyper-concentrated potion crafted with 130 wild herbs, roots, and flowers.
At a staggering 69% ABV, it’s not for sipping. A single drop unleashes a storm of mint, pine, génépi, and anise. The palate is fiery, oily, and medicinal in the most arcane sense. Each tiny bottle comes nestled in its own wooden sleeve, a nod to its apothecary roots.
How to Enjoy
Use by the drop only. Add a few drops to a sugar cube and dissolve in water, or add to hot tea or a cocktail for an intense herbal blast.
