A world-famous herbal liqueur with a distinctive flavour and a key component to the likes of the Last Word, Green Chartreuse is made by Carthusian Monks to a 1605 recipe.
There's pungent aromas of pine, lime and anise. To taste its herbaceous and fresh, ranging from lemon zest to pine to anise and onto a peppermint finish. One to use in the many cocktails that call for it, but also one to try over ice.
Only two Chartreuse monks know the identity of the 130 plants, how to blend them and how to distil them into this world-famous liqueur. The green colour is entirely natural and done via infusion.
The history of Chartreuse goes back centuries. The liqueur has been made by the Carthusian Monks since 1737, according to the instructions set out in a manuscript given to them by François Annibal d'Estrées in 1605.
The ‘herb room” is still located in the old monastery’s bakery, but now production happens at their new distillery in Aiguenoire. The old Voiron distillery operational between 1936 and 2017 is now the Chartreuse liqueurs tourist centre.
One of the great classic liqueurs, Yellow Chartreuse is a more approachable, sweeter version than the famed Green Chartreuse.
