Description
Chartreuse 'Yellow' Herb Liqueur is a remarkable spirit that has earned a prestigious score of 96 points from Wine Enthusiast. Originating from the Chartreuse Order of Carthusian monks, founded in 1084, this liqueur is steeped in history. The monks received a manuscript in 1605 detailing a long and complex recipe for an "Elixir of Long Life". After extensive study, they created this unique liqueur, which quickly became popular as a drink rather than a medicinal tonic. The Yellow Chartreuse, milder than its counterpart, is crafted by macerating over 130 herbs, plants, roots, and leaves in a base of wine alcohol. The result is a complex, flavorful liqueur with a vibrant yellow colour, perfect for sipping or mixing in cocktails.
