It sounds like a cop-out to open the tasting note section with the caveat that this liqueur defies description. But in this case, it’s absolutely true. Our best attempt is to tell you it tastes herbal and promises a kick.
Why we love it
Green chartreuse is an absolute must-have for mixing, even if it’s just to make a Last Words (one of our favourite and underrated cocktails).
About Chartreuse
Here’s a liqueur shrouded in enough mystery to give the Da Vinci Code a run for its money. In 1605, François Hannibal d'Estrées gifted the Carthusian monks an alchemical manuscript with a recipe for an "elixir of long life, " including around 130 ingredients. The monks made it their own, tweaking the recipe for the next 150 years. Today, only 2 monks know the recipe and continue to distil it for its parent company.
