Chartreuse Yellow Liqueur (750 mL) is a legendary French herbal liqueur crafted by Carthusian monks using a centuries-old, secret recipe of over 130 botanicals. Milder and sweeter than its green counterpart, Yellow Chartreuse is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) and is known for its golden hue, floral aromas, and warm honeyed spice. Its complex yet approachable profile makes it an essential ingredient in classic cocktails like the Alaska, Widow’s Kiss, and Greenpoint, while also shining when sipped neat or over ice.
