CHARTREUSE JAUNE Kräuterlikör 70 cl / 43 % Frankreich

Chartreuse Jaune Liqueur has a milder aroma and lower alcohol content compared to Chartreuse Verde.

Chartreuse Jaune Liqueur was first produced in 1838. It consists of more than 130 different herbs and is stored for several years in large oak barrels.

In 1605, the nobleman Francois Hannibal d'Estrées is said to have given the Carthusian monks of the Vaubert monastery a mysterious writing called "Elixir of Long Life". This recipe still forms the basis for Chartreuse Verte and is top secret. Only two monks know it and are privy to the manufacturing process. For the Chartreuse Verte, over 130 different herbs and plants are distilled several times. The liqueur is then stored for several years in oak barrels from Russia, Hungary and France in a 164-meter cellar - the monks decide how long. In contrast to the green version of the Chartreuse liqueur, the yellow one has a lower alcohol content.
