The Carthusian monks' 130-plant liqueur: potent, herbal, and green by botany alone.
Chartreuse Mountains, France, 1764
A marshal of Henri IV handed the Carthusians a 1605 manuscript for an 'elixir of long life'; the monks tamed it into Green Chartreuse in 1764.
Only two monks at a time hold the full recipe; the 130 macerated and distilled plants supply the flavor and the natural green color, and the liqueur rests in the cellars before release.
A green wall of herbs: mint, anise, pine, and pepper, with honeyed sweetness holding the 55% in check. The finish outlasts the glass.
Did you know
The color chartreuse is named after the liqueur; the drink is centuries older than the English word for its own shade of green, which arrived in 1884.
Also known as: chartreuse verte
