For those suffering from a Green Chartreuse shortage, I just tried a back to back comparison of Green Chartreuse and Génépy le Chamois in a Last Word. It perhaps loses a little complexity (and ABV) but it still works.

c1810! looks like typos can't be edited either. Very rudimentary.

Agreed. Our present comments system is rudimentary, and we are working on upgrading it. Please bear with us!

I thought I would share a pic of my 18 bottles of Chartreuse verte, 4 yellow, 2 VEP, et al atop a early 19th C French sideboard, reflected in a c.180 French giltwood mirror. But looks like one can not add pics. Greetings to my fellow Chartreuse lovers.

Re the Chartreuse shortage: the San Francisco Chronicle had an article on this. Short version is Chartreuse demand has increased worldwide and the monks don’t want to work more as it impacts their contemplative practices. They have a good point. The SF alternative is Brucato Chaparral.
Monks can’t make enough of this spirit. Can a S.F. alternative replace it? https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/article/chartreuse-shortage-brucato-chaparral-18326731.php

Hi everybody. I just bought this amazing product, which is called Vegetal-de-la-Grande-Chartreuse. It comes in a tiny 100 mL bottle. Basically it's Chartreuse in bitters form. It's really awesome. The ~$40.00 I paid for the tiny bottle was totally worth it.

For others running into issues getting Chartreuse at the moment, I've found Ver Liqueur to be a compelling replacement in a Last Word.

Thanks for the tip. I have not seen Chartreuse anywhere locally for awhile and my bottle is just about empty.

So good! Complex and vegetal, absolutely worth the money. Elevates many cocktails
