The History and Mystique of Chartreuse
Chartreuse is more than just a spirit; it's a story bottled within a centuries-old tradition. Created in the 1600s by Carthusian Monks in France, this liqueur is renowned for its distinct color and complex flavor, derived from a blend of 130 herbs and plants. The recipe, a well-guarded secret passed down through generations of monks, remains a mystery to the world. There are two main types: Green Chartreuse, which is more potent and herbal, and Yellow Chartreuse, which is milder and sweeter.
