Carmelitano Canister

Two-litre cylinder. It contained liqueur from the carmelites of benicasim, a liqueur produced in spain. This canister is green glass, it still has its original cap, I unfortunately could not keep the original labels because in too bad condition. This article is in perfect condition. History: in the 17th century, the carmelites arrived at the mountains of the desert of las palmas where they built a monastery, among them brother antonio de jess maria, a notable scholar and connoisseur of aromatic herbs. When it was converted into a novitiate, it was necessary to meet the needs of novices, their studies and training. The idea of marketing an aromatic drink appeared, extracted from the countless native herbs of the mountains of the desert of las palmas. Stills were installed in the basement of the monastery and around october 1896, the first bottles of the famous liqueur were marketed. Later the carmelites transferred the distilleries to the city of benicasim and in 1912 the wine cellars and distilleries were founded. Know that this distillery still exists at present and that we can visit it.
