YELLOW CHARTREUSE 43° 70cl
The famous liqueurs of the Carthusian Monks need no introduction!
Chartreuse Jaune (Yellow Chartreuse):
Created in 1840, this yellow liqueur was inspired by the recipe for the Elixir Végétal. It became so popular that Father Garnier, the procurator and head of liqueurs at the time, decided to officially name it Chartreuse Jaune and registered the "Chartreuse" brand in 1852. It is a liqueur with an alcohol content of 43°, still produced and manufactured today by the Carthusian Monks in their Aiguenoire distillery in Entre-Deux-Guiers (Isère - France).
Composition: alcohol, sugar, water, plant substances (130 plants, flowers, barks, roots, and spices).
Alcohol content: 43% vol.
Production: Chartreuse Jaune is characterized by its sweetness, spicy aromas, and natural color derived from 130 plants, flowers, barks, roots, and spices.
Its production is significantly different from Chartreuse Verte and requires several weeks of work in various stages:
- Macerations prepared by the monks in the herb room at the Grande Chartreuse monastery.
- Distillation to obtain the aroma.
- Different types of macerations that extract the active principles of the plants and give the liqueur its natural color.
It then ages for a long time in oak casks before being bottled, and continues to evolve and develop its complexity in the bottle.
