“Slightly sweeter and lower proof than green Chartreuse. It is wonderful mixed with dark spirits or simply on its own.” 

Production Details

Yellow Chartreuse is made using a closely guarded recipe known only to two monks of the Carthusian order. The process takes several years and involves macerating and distilling a blend of 130 different plants and flowers, which are then aged in oak barrels. The final product is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) and has a distinct yellow color derived from the saffron used in the recipe.
