Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is the gentler side of one of the most storied liqueurs on any back bar, made by Carthusian monks from a closely guarded recipe that dates back to 1605 and draws on 130 different plants. It runs lower in alcohol than its green counterpart and has a softer, more mellow character, which makes it an easy entry point for anyone curious about herbal liqueurs. The nose brings honey, saffron, anise and citrus. The palate is smooth and rounded, with sweet spices, floral herbs and a touch of citrus zest, while earthy botanicals keep the sweetness in check. The finish is long, sweet and gently spicy. It suits collectors and bartenders alike. Sip it neat or over ice after dinner, or build it into a Yellow Chartreuse Sour or a Chartreuse Swizzle. We carry it because few bottles offer this much history and botanical complexity while staying so approachable.
Pairs well with
- After-dinner digestif — Its long, sweet and gently spicy finish makes a satisfying close to a meal.
- Lemon tart — The liqueur's subtle citrus zest echoes the tart's bright lemon while its honeyed sweetness softens the acidity.
- Honey-drizzled aged cheeses — The honey and saffron notes on the nose complement the drizzle, and the earthy botanicals stand up to nutty, savory cheese.
