Produced by Carthusian Monks in France, this liqueur is one of the most distinctive and historic herbal spirits in the world, with origins dating back to a secret recipe given to the order in 1605. Green Chartreuse is made from a complex blend of 130 herbs, plants, and flowers, resulting in a highly aromatic and intensely flavoured profile. Its natural green colour comes entirely from the botanicals used in production, reflecting its artisanal and traditional approach.
The botanicals are macerated and distilled before being aged in large oak casks, allowing the flavours to integrate and evolve over time. Unlike many liqueurs, it is bottled at a high strength, contributing to both its structure and longevity. Positioned firmly in the premium tier, it is valued for its depth, complexity, and versatility, used in classic cocktails as well as enjoyed on its own.
