Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal is a unique herbal liqueur that stands apart from rums entirely - it's actually a highly concentrated version of Green Chartreuse made by Carthusian monks. With a potent 69% ABV and a secret blend of 130 herbs, plants, and flowers, this elixir was originally created as a medicinal tonic in the 18th century and is still produced using the same closely guarded recipe today.

Nose: Sharp herbal notes dominate, with hints of mint, thyme, and anise. Underlying tones of pine and eucalyptus provide a fresh, medicinal quality. Subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and licorice rounds out the aroma.
Palate: Intensely herbal with a syrupy texture. Initial burst of mint and fennel, followed by complex layers of sage, rosemary, and cardamom. Slight bitterness balanced by notes of cinnamon and clove. Alcohol warmth is present but not overwhelming.
Finish: Long-lasting and warming. Herbal flavors persist, gradually fading to reveal subtle vanilla and woody undertones. Leaves a cooling sensation reminiscent of menthol. Slight sweetness lingers, balanced by a gentle bitter edge.
Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal is crafted by Carthusian monks using a secret blend of 130 plants and flowers, which are macerated in alcohol and distilled.
