Chartreuse

A collection of Chartreuse bottles in a window in Paris.
I've never tasted it.  Have you?

I actually haven't tried it, but I've been meaning to, especially since I'm reading "An Infinity of Little Hours" which is about the Carthusians, though not specifically about the Monastery in France that produces Chartreuse, but the one in England.

Also, I recently read a quote that someone said it was the only liquor good enough to have a color named after it!

Very true...
Had a great one, thanks! Hope you did as well.

I've heard mixed reviews about its flavor. Guess I'll have to try it and see!

I have...when I was living in Grenoble back in 1998! Went to a monastery where Chartreuse was made...was beautiful and intoxicating!

Now I'm definitely intrigued. I'll let you know what I think! Did you try the yellow or the green?
