Chartreuse was originally created in 1605 by monks using a recipe for an elixir of long life.  It was produced produced between 1904-1989 in Tarragona (Spain) after the Carthusian Monks were exiled from France. In 1989 the distillery in Tarragona closed down and the production of this liquor returned to France. Today the bottles produced in the distillery of Tarragona have become some of the most expensive and sought after liquors in the world. The recipe contains more than 130 different plants and flowers.

A special edition, this Chartreuse liqueur was made in the Voiron production facility in France. First created in 1984, this celebrated the 900th year since the founding of the Grande Chartreuse Monastery in 1084.
