Chartreuse Yellow in a Nutshell

Chartreuse Yellow, the sweeter, milder sibling to the famed Green, gets its distinct character and natural golden hue from saffron and a secret blend of 130 botanicals known only to two Carthusian monks. This unique composition offers honeyed, floral notes, making it a fascinating and versatile addition to your craft spirits collection.

Anders' Take on Chartreuse Yellow

"Yellow Chartreuse has an incredible honeyed sweetness and a complex herbal backbone that mixes so well in a number of classics."

Let's Answer Your Questions About Chartreuse Yellow

Where is Chartreuse Yellow from?

Chartreuse Yellow, a milder and sweeter counterpart to the original Green, hails from France, specifically from the Carthusian Monks who have guarded its secret recipe since 1737. This classic liqueur, with its distinctive golden hue and complex herbal character derived from 130 botanicals, is a testament to centuries of tradition. The brand is renowned for its unique production process, still overseen by only two monks who know the intricate formula, making each bottle a piece of living history from their Aiguenoire distillery in Entre-Deux-Guiers.

How should I use Chartreuse Yellow?

Chartreuse Yellow, the softer, sweeter sibling in the Chartreuse family, brings a delightful honeyed character with notes of saffron and anise to the party. It shines in cocktails where you want a complex herbal note without the assertive punch of its green counterpart, think updated classics or modern creations featuring rye whiskey or gin. Its lower ABV also makes it a versatile player.

What does Chartreuse Yellow taste like?

Chartreuse Yellow invites with a fresh, spicy aroma, hinting at turmeric, citrus, and anise. The palate is softer, revealing honey and licorice with a gentle floral character that lingers through a sweet, herbal finish.
