wow okay these comments are so rude?? first of all, y'all can stop now, i think there are PLENTY of comments about the pronunciation. secondly, god forbid someone with an accent or speech impediment have the nerve to make a video about something?? like if you can't handle it you don't have to stick around but idk why so many people felt the need to say something rude about it?? the video was uploaded for free my dudes like you paid nothing for it and are therefore owed nothing, maybe just turn on the subtitles if it's that bad for you?? i understood everything just fine though so 🤷

This was a great video! Had a lot of fun watching. Can't wait for more! As someone who mispronounced a lot, I think you doing a full video with yourself on Camera is comendable. I haven't seen all your videos but I think you do such a good job in production that it makes your speech more noticeable compared to a lower quality video. Also honestly, people commenting about pronunciation is just free engagement so don’t worry about it.

Zachary, this is the best video on Chartreuse on the internet. Bravo. As a huge, huge Chartreuse nerd, I love this. I am sipping some Green right now. How did you research and find all of the historical information at the start of the video on Saint Bruno's life? I have a copy of "Chartreuse: The Liqueur," and that even doesn't go into detail like you did! Thank you for sharing an informative, approachable video that even the biggest Chartreuse fans will love. Of the 40+ bottles of Chartreuse that I have, aside from drinking it neat, I really like a "Last of the Oaxacans": where the gin in a "Last Word" is subbed for Mezcal. I think its overall better and not as funky as a standard Word. The subtle smoke of the mezcal really plays with the funk of the Chartreuse. I think that Luxardo is overall pretty overpowering. A "Verte Chaud" is also amazing, and I always drink it along with holiday shopping during Christmas, as it is Green and hot chocolate. It is a fun way to introduce people to it because it can be a little intimidating on its own. When I went shopping for Christmas dinner ingredients this past year, I added 2 oz of Green in my Starbucks hot chocolate and it made it a fun time.

Glad you enjoyed it! The research behind this video took a while to research and verify information. The chartreuse website offered a great start on the timeline (I wish I had a copy of the Chartreuse book). There are plenty of resources online since he was a figure in Catholic Life. The website for the Carthusian Monks had some great information, in addition to some online Encyclopedias. It looks like I have two new cocktails to try tonight. Cheers!

Lots of interesting culinary history directly tied to the Catholic Church. Chartreuse is one example. The Jesuits brought tempura to Japan (shrimp tempura, anyone?) and pizza delivery was first thought up by the Vatican. Saint Bruno, pray for us! And praise God for liqueurs!

This was a wonderfully informative video! I currently have one full bottle of yellow and an almost full bottle of green, but it is definitely more difficult to find nowadays. I'm told that Faccia Brutto is the closest to green chartreuse, but what about the Elixir Vegetal de la Grande-Chartreuse, the stuff in that small 100ml wooden bottle? I'm starting to see that on shelves more regularly as a substitute, but I know nothing about it.
@ZacharyWelker5 ай бұрын
Glad it was helpful! I don't recommend using the Elixir Vegetal as a replacement for Green Chartreuse. It is significantly more potent (69% ABV vs 55%) and has a more bitter flavor profile. Green Chartreuse has a lot more sweetness in it. The Elixir Vegetal is better used like other cocktail bitters, such as Angostura, with a few dashes at a time.

@@ZacharyWelker Thanks for letting me know! I actually bought my first bottle of Dolin Génépy earlier today, which I've never tried before, and I've been told that was a close substitute for Chartreuse. After trying both side-by-side, I can say there's no mistaking one for the other. BUT, if you do a 1:1 mix of Génépy with Bénédictine, you get pretty darn close!
@ZacharyWelker5 ай бұрын
I never thought to combine the Génépy and Bénédictine. When I run out of Green Chartreuse, I should give that a try.Thanks for the tip!

If I can offer any advice, I think you need to look up the pronunciations for most words in your script. I don't know if you just haven't said a lot of these aloud before but pronouncing "Antoine" as "Ann Tony" instead of "an-twahn" is diabolical. You have these weird pronunciations throughout and it's not the non-rhoticism or your accent in general.

Super fair. It's an area that I am realizing I need to improve on and going forward, this will be particularly an area of focus for the future. Always looking to improve and dealing with words in other language or words I'm not familiar with is one of the biggest area of growth for me. I agree, looking back the Antoine pronunciation is terrible 🫣
