Chartreuse Miniature Green Verte French Liqueur 3 cl 55%

130 herbs from La Grande Chartreuse and a recipe known to only three monks - this miniature offers a small but authentic encounter with one of France's most legendary liqueurs.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Chartreuse Miniature Grøn Verte is a French herbal liqueur from the Chartreuse order, bottled at 55% ABV in a 3 cl miniature bottle.

Chartreuse can be traced back to the 1100s, and the liqueur is today distilled exclusively in Voiron. The roughly 130 different herbs, plants and flowers that Chartreuse is made from are kept at the La Grande Chartreuse monastery until they are brought to Voiron. A central detail in production is that only three monks at a time know the unique recipe, and both distillation and the subsequent ageing in oak casks are overseen exclusively by these Carthusian monks.

Smag

The taste is intense and herbal with a distinct green character, where the many herbs and plants create a complex interplay of freshness, sweetness and spice. Green Chartreuse is typically enjoyed chilled after a meal or in cocktails, where its powerful profile leaves a strong impression.
