I've just tried the Strega as a Chartreuse Jaune replacement in Mono Dorado. No idea if it was 'authentic', but it was most enjoyable!

Thank you, Paul. I will try your suggestions. I have Strega but it looks like I might have trouble finding the Grandmont in my area.

The closest I've tasted to Yellow, is Strega with a little Benedictine to soften it's stronger anise flavor profile.

I'm trying Strega for yellow and Grandmontfor for green. Unless there's a slump in demand (unlikely) or an uptick in production (again, unlikely I guess) we're going to have to get used to this.

While I love Chartreuse Verte as a cocktail ingredient, I totally prefer Jaune when drunk neat
