In 1859, Joseph Rumillet-Charretier, an herbalist apothecary, created in Le Puy-en-Velay, the formula of a new elixir he called “Verveine du Velay”. The formula contains (more than thirty) a lot of other  botanicals. The most characteristic is the Verveine (lemon verbena) locally grown in the Velay area. Since 1839 the recipe is transmitted from a master distiller to an other, under the seal of secrecy.

The sweetness of Yellow Verveine du Velay will be pleasing especially to delicate palates. To be tasted nice and cold, on its own or in a cocktail.
