Yellow Chartreuse Liqueur (75cl, 43%)

Yellow Chartreuse is a herbal liqueur first created in 1840, inspired by the Elixir Végétal recipe, and still made by the Chartreux Fathers. It is bottled at 43% ABV in a 75cl bottle. Its colour and spicy scents come from 130 plants, flowers, bark, roots and spices. The monks grind the plants at the Grande Chartreuse monastery, distil for aroma and macerate to draw out the flavour and natural colour. It then ages for a long time in oak casks. The colour is an intense yellow, with a fresh, spicy nose. The structure is soft and sweet, with turmeric, citrus and anise, and floral notes carrying on the finish.
