With hundreds of years of tradition and history, Chartreuse comes from a breathtaking, remote mountain monastery high in the French Alps. Produced as an act of devotion by the Carthusian order of monks, it’s now consumed in a similar act of devotion by many Americans! The formula for Chartreuse is complex and varied, including over 130 different types of mountain flowers, herbs, roots, and other botanicals. To maintain the historic secrecy, the formula is known only in part and only to three monks so that no single person is in possession of the entire recipe. Today Chartreuse liqueur has become a cult classic. Bartenders and mixologists across the country are constantly concocting fun, innovative drinks using this distinctive liqueur.
This liqueur is tangy and refreshing, with a corresponding earthy component that alternates between bitter and sweet. The Green liqueur is intensely floral and herbal, with myriad aromas and flavors that attack the senses: cloves, angelica, fennel, citrus, thyme, rosemary, hyssop, cinnamon, mace, pine. The Yellow is similar to the Green but slightly sweeter. And each time you take a sip of either, you notice something new!
