Back in the office for a Chartreuse Taste Test & Comparison! This week I'm doing a side by side tasting with green vs yellow chartreuse. These french liqueurs are made by Carthusian Monks who have been handing down their secret recipe since 1605. The Green Chartreuse we sip today has been in production since the mid 1700's and Yellow Chartreuse was introduced in the mid 1800s. Both sweet and herbaceous, these two liqueurs are a special addition to any home bar. Try the yellow out in a Chartreuse Bees Knees, and the Green in a Last Word cocktail.

There's a cocktail that's been around about 100 years called "The Last Word." It's a strange combination of ingredients that works: equal parts green Chartreuse, Luxardo marachino liqueur, gin, and lime juice. I can see how some might hate it, but I love it.

@donarmando916 2 года назад

Was able to try the yellow one in Spain where it sells for 11.99 while in Switzerland it sells for 60. The yellow one has an anise dominace and it is very sweet. It still is a nice liquor although i definitely prefere the green one.

@CoachVinoLLC 3 года назад

I have a bottle of the green that I absolutely cherish. It is emerald gold. Great comparison video!

@SavidgeKitchen 3 года назад

It really is special! I sort of went into thinking I'd like the green more... but man, that yellow and I are in a relationship now. So good!

@Lightcode Месяц назад

Thank you! Finally someone who knows how to do a good comparison and give me information that will actually help me make this decision. I haven't had yellow chartreuse in probably 20 years because it's not been available and now that it's back again I am excited to try it.

Great review. Yellow Chartreuse has such a great taste. I really love how it end up in the "Shanghai Gin" cocktail. I totally recommend it. Green is more expensive, but hopefully I will get me a bottle some time soon. Cheers!

I really was smitten by the Yellow Chartreuse- I'll have to try it in that cocktail you mentioned!! Cheers :)

So delicious - my personal preference is the yellow (clearly 😂 ), but I think the green is truly delightful too, and transformative in a cocktail!!

The thing about chartreuse is that it does not take much! So the bottle lasts a long time! I can get the 350 ml bottle sometimes which helps on the $ side! Great vid girl! Cheers!

@MLSesquire 3 года назад

We had a taste test between the green and yellow with family members. Surprisingly to me green was preferred by all but one. On a side note a few drops over vanilla ice cream or on top of strawberry shortcake with whipped cream takes dessert to another level. We in NJ pay about $52 per bottle on sale. Thanks for the fun video!

@SavidgeKitchen 3 года назад

Over strawberry shortcake... what a wonderful idea!! I bet the herbal quality plays really nicely with the sweetness and tartness there. Thanks for sharing!! :)

That's pretty cool - I didn't realize you do tasting in the office vs. drink making in your bar. Clever to have consistency in experience. Another channel we follow called The Drinking Buddy used Chartreuse in his cocktail too. I don't think we've ever even tried it, but looking forward to it now. - Cam and Theresa

@SavidgeKitchen 3 года назад

So I started doing those in my office completely by chance 😂 I had a new bottle I needed to try, and didn’t have the time to do my usual 3 camera kitchen set. So I popped my iphone on my desk and just did a quick review. I liked it, so now here we are. LOL!!

@donarmando916 2 года назад

Only tried the green one and it was so complex that you can zip for hours guessing what herbs are in it. I tasted balm, mint, anise and juniper although the juniper is not dominant like a gin. Everytime you try it you discover some new tastes. Very interesting liquor witch in my opinion is more like a herbal medicine elixir but absolutely a joy to drink.

Chartreuse is hard to find in my area as well. I am in agreement that it is becoming more and more popular with cocktails. Awesome information so much stuff I didn't know. I had concluded that the Yellow Chartreuse was Yellow and the Green Chartreuse was Green but outside of that I didn't know much lol

@MrMichelchristiaens 11 месяцев назад

In Belgium the regular green Chartreuse is about 45 euros. That's about 50 USD. We can get it in every liquor store without any problem. My preferred choice is the green V.E.P. Its essentially green Chartreuse that aged at least 8 years in oak barrels. Its less vibrant green, has received a little brownish splash. It is definitely less sweet (sugar) then the regular. But most importantly it has an increased complex taste. Once you tasted VEP, you'll find the regular tasting less good. The VEP is now so hard to get, that they get auctioned starting with prices from 200 euros for a 1 liter bottle.

@SavidgeKitchen 11 месяцев назад

I have yet to try the VEP… hoping to get a bottle though!

Wow that is expensive. Instead of buying Chartreuse, what would be a less expensive knockoff? Love your commentary, great desciption. Were you thinking these could be an "aperative" after dinner drink? You have beautiful hair btw. LOL I don't like Gin, but I heard gin goes good with this.

@SavidgeKitchen 2 года назад

Thank you so much! Honestly, I'm not sure what a good replacement would be- it's a pretty unique spirit. I think maybe explore some other botanical or complex liqueurs instead- Have you ever had Drambuie? That's one of my favs, and much more accessible. Excellent as an after dinner drink. Cheers!
