Sometime around 1840 the Chartreuse formula was adapted by Brother Bruno Jacquet to produce this lighter, sweeter and more approachable yellow version of the classic green elixir.

Sampled on 22/01/2016
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.
