Product Description

The Iconic French Herbal Liqueur

Green Chartreuse is one of the world's most distinctive liqueurs, made in France from a closely guarded recipe involving 130 plants, flowers, bark, roots and spices. Its naturally vibrant green colour, powerful herbal character and remarkable aromatic complexity make it unlike almost any other liqueur.

Finish: Long and complex, ending with a distinctive bittersweet tea character.

Why You'll Love It

Green Chartreuse isn't simply another herbal liqueur. Its recipe remains closely guarded, and the production involves multiple stages of botanical preparation, distillation, maceration and extended ageing in oak vats.
