What is Chartreuse Yellow?
Chartreuse Yellow is a complex herbal liqueur made from a secret blend of 130 plants and flowers, creating a unique flavor profile that's both sweet and spicy. Interestingly, the recipe for Chartreuse Yellow was originally intended as an elixir of long life and was developed by Carthusian monks in the 17th century based on a mysterious manuscript gifted to them by a French marshal.
Why do we love Chartreuse Yellow?
Chartreuse Yellow stands out among liqueurs with its complex blend of 130 herbs, plants, and flowers, creating a milder and sweeter profile compared to its green counterpart. Unlike rum, which is distilled from sugarcane byproducts, Chartreuse Yellow is a centuries-old herbal elixir made by Carthusian monks in France, following a secret recipe that dates back to 1605.
How do you drink Chartreuse Yellow?
Chartreuse Yellow shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its complex herbal flavors to unfold slowly on the palate, but it also adds a unique twist to spirit-forward cocktails. This versatile liqueur is perfect for cool autumn evenings, pairing beautifully with rich, savory dishes like roasted game or earthy mushroom risotto.

Nose: Herbal and floral aromas dominate. Distinct notes of honey, saffron, and citrus peel. Hints of anise, thyme, and chamomile add complexity. A touch of sweetness reminiscent of candied violets.
Palate: Sweet and spicy initially. Flavors of licorice, mint, and sage emerge. Subtle notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. The herbal character intensifies, revealing gentian, hyssop, and angelica. A honeyed sweetness balances the bitter botanicals.
Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, leaving a pleasantly bitter herbal taste. Lingering notes of citrus zest and pine. A slight peppery tingle on the tongue. The complex blend of herbs continues to evolve, inviting another sip.
Chartreuse Yellow is crafted by Carthusian monks using a closely guarded recipe of 130 herbs, plants, and flowers. The exact production process remains a well-kept secret, known only to two monks at any given time, adding an air of mystery and tradition to this complex liqueur.
