Chartreuse Green

Chartreuse Green is a classic French liqueur with a history stretching back to 1605, when Carthusian Monks were gifted a manuscript for an "elixir of long life." They eventually perfected the recipe, officially naming Green Chartreuse in 1852. Still produced by the monks in Aiguenoire, France, its famed vibrant green color comes naturally from 130 herbs and plants, a secret blend known only to two monks at a time. This complex, herbal, and somewhat peppery spirit is a staple in cocktail culture and is renowned for being one of the few liqueurs that continues to evolve and develop complexity in the bottle.

Green Chartreuse offers an intensely herbal and subtly sweet profile, with hints of alpine meadows and a whisper of spice. It brings complexity and a vibrant character to cocktails, shining in classics like The Last Word or adding a fascinating layer to modern creations that benefit from its bold, botanical punch.

Upon pouring, Green Chartreuse presents a powerful, herbaceous, and peppery aroma. The initial taste is fresh, with distinct minty notes, pine sap, and bright citrus, which then evolves into a pleasantly bittersweet tea character that lingers on the finish.
