Quality Liquor Store Chartreuse Green Liqueur 750 ml

DESCRIPTION
Green Chartreuse is a French herbal liqueur made by Carthusian monks from a secret blend of around 130 plants — a recipe from 1605 that only two monks know at a time. At 55% it's stronger and more bracing than most liqueurs: herbaceous and resinous, sweet and bitter at once, and green from the plants rather than any dye. It's a cornerstone of the bar — the Last Word doesn't work without it, and it runs through the spirit-forward classics. It's also genuinely allocated: the monks capped production in 2021 to protect their monastic life, so it comes and goes on shelves and rarely sits cheap. Sip it cold as a digestif, or build it into a Last Word or Bijou.

TASTING NOTES
Color: Vivid yellow-green, natural to the plants.
Nose: Intense herbs — mint, anise, pine, and alpine flowers, with a resinous edge.
Palate: Sweet up front, then a wave of bitter herbs, spice, and menthol, hot with the 55% underneath.
Finish: Long and warming, herbal and bittersweet, the spice lingering.

HOW TO DRINK
Neat and cold is traditional — a small pour after dinner, the way it began as a monk's tonic. In cocktails it's essential rather than optional: equal parts in a Last Word, or a barspoon to lift a Bijou or an Alaska. A little goes a long way at 55%, so pour with a light hand.
