The original — and still the most extraordinary — Chartreuse Verte (Green) is the definitive expression of one of the world's most legendary and irreplaceable liqueurs. Crafted by the Carthusian Monks of the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps from a secret recipe dating to 1605, Green Chartreuse is made from a closely guarded blend of 130 plants, barks, roots, spices, and flowers — a recipe known only to two monks at any given time. Bottled at a powerful 55% ABV, it is intensely herbal, complex, and utterly unlike anything else in the world of spirits.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Intensely herbal and aromatic — fresh green herbs, anise, mint, and a complex botanical depth that evolves with every breath
- Palate: Bold and complex with green herbs, anise, pepper, citrus, and a warming spice that builds beautifully — sweet yet intensely herbal, with layers that reveal themselves slowly
- Finish: Extraordinarily long and warming with lingering herbal complexity, spice, and a clean, botanical intensity that is impossible to replicate
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chartreuse made from?
Chartreuse is made from a secret blend of 130 plants, barks, roots, spices, and flowers — a recipe so closely guarded that only two Carthusian monks know it at any given time. The manuscript containing the recipe was given to the monks in 1605 and has never been fully disclosed.
How does Green differ from Yellow Chartreuse?
Green Chartreuse (55% ABV) is more intense, herbal, and complex — the full botanical experience at full strength. Yellow Chartreuse (43% ABV) is sweeter, milder, and more approachable. Green is the original and most celebrated expression.
Why is Chartreuse so hard to find?
Chartreuse is produced in very limited quantities by a small community of Carthusian monks who deliberately limit production to maintain quality and their monastic way of life. Global demand consistently outpaces supply, making it one of the most sought-after spirits in the world.
