Chartreuse Liqueur du 9e Centenaire (70cl)

A herbal liqueur from Chartreuse, first produced in 1984 for the 900th anniversary of the founding of the Carthusian Order. It has the same characteristics as Chartreuse Verte but is softer. It is made by blending different Chartreuse and ageing for at least three years in oak casks. On the nose it is pungent and resinous, with mint, liquorice, anise, lemon and black pepper. On the palate it is sweet and sour, with cocoa and anise and a pleasant sweetness. It finishes long. It can be enjoyed cold or served with plenty of ice, and pairs well with blue cheeses.
