Chartreuse Yellow

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.

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.

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.
