Liqueur created by the best craftsmen of France “Sommeliers”. This special Chartreuse Jaune cuvée was first created in 2008 by the Chartreux Fathers in close collaboration with the Meilleur Ouvriers de France Sommeliers (M.O.F).
Chartreuse. It’s one of those spirits that gets better — and gains in monetary value — with age.
Both the green and yellow versions made by Carthusian monks age well. “The yellow is more harmonious whereas the green is more complex, but they’re both amazing,” says Tim Masters, director of specialty spirits for Frederick Wildman and Sons, which imports Chartreuse to the United States. “Chartreuse eats sugar, and it mellows with age. Some say Chartreuse yellow ages more eloquently whereas Chartreuse green has an angry, wonderful aging. The green is that angry uncle whom you love so much, whereas the yellow chartreuse is that debonair friend who is a little older and more sophisticated.”
