Chartreuse is made from a blend of 130 plants, flowers, bark, roots, and spices. The process starts with monks grinding the ingredients at the Grande Chartreuse monastery, followed by distillation to capture the aromas, and maceration to extract the active ingredients and natural color. The liqueur is then aged in oak casks before bottling.
Tasting reveals a strong herbaceous and peppery aroma. The flavor includes fresh minty notes, pine sap, and citrus fruits, ending with a bittersweet tea finish. It is often enjoyed neat or chilled as a digestif.
