The first liqueur made from the original recipe of the Elixir Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse, the Chartreuse Green Herbal Liqueur is a digestif and ingredient in cocktails or in cooking in one. The recipe is famously guarded and includes a large number of botanicals (like 130 plants, flowers, bark, roots and spices), many of which are macerated and distilled separately before being blended.
As expected, this is herbaceous and lively, with a bright citrus lift that keeps the sweetness in check. The aroma is similar, with green herbal top notes and a bouquet of fresh mint, basil, and eucalyptus. The overall impression is both botanical and balanced, aromatic without being medicinal, and layered in a way that makes it enjoyable - as it should be.
The Chartreuse Green Herbal Liqueur has dominated the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, having won multiple Silver and Double Gold awards in various years. Wine Enthusiast has consistently given this bottle top marks, like a 96 to 100 point rating.
While Chartreuse Green Herbal Liqueur can have many different uses and purposes, its primary use has always been as a drink. Neat pours will lead you to appreciate its aroma and complexity. In cocktails is where it truly shines - think classic sours and gin and tonics.
