CHARTREUSE, THE LIQUEUR

Chartreuse is a liqueur originally created in the 16th century (possibly much older) by the Carthusian monks near Grenoble, France (Or they were given the recipe by the Marechal d'Estrees).

The secret formula supposedly contains more than 130 different plants and herbs. There are two types of Chartreuse produced, the original green 110 proof, and a sweeter yellow Chartreuse, 86 proof, created in 1840.
