Impossibly old & wonderfully refined, Chartreuse is the world’s oldest liqueur dating back to 1605. 130 secret ingredients and endless possibilities.
The Carthusian herbal liqueur is produced in the French Alps. The distillery and the cellar where the herbal liqueur ages, are located in the small town of Voiron, about 25km North-East of Grenoble.

| | Yellow Chartreuse $80 bottle
Yellow Chartreuse is sweeter and softer in taste with flavors of honey, saffron, and anise.
Green Chartreuse $80 bottle
Green Chartreuse tastes slightly bitter, strongly herbal, and at the same time delicately sweet. Despite the intense herbal flavor, the liqueur is well-defined by a mentholated freshness.
The scent of the French herbal liqueur is fantastic, no matter if it's the yellow or green expression. You can smell various aromas like rosemary, angelica, sage, pine, tonka bean, cocoa, mint, pepper, and hints of fruit.
Both versions get their color from natural ingredients. The green color is derived from chlorophyll contained in herbs and plants. Yellow Chartreuse gets its color from saffron.
Chartreuse in Cocktails
Two perfect examples of this are the Last Word and the Bijou cocktail.
The first is a classic made with Gin, maraschino liqueur, lime juice, and Green Chartreuse. The Bijou combines the green herbal liqueur with Gin, Sweet Vermouth, and orange bitters.
