Appearance

Clear, marigold yellow with hints of green.

Aroma

Mocha coffee and dark chocolate with angelica, spruce needles, peppermint, aniseed and tarragon.

Taste

Mellow, honeyed sweetness and minty freshness with rootyness, zesty citrus and pine needles.

Aftertaste

Incredibly fresh breath finish. Peppermint, spearmint, mocha coffee, lime zest, gentian, anise and cracked black pepper.

Overall

One of the great classic liqueurs, Yellow Chartreuse has a huge, enveloping, honey sweet and minty fresh palate with herbal complexity.
