What is Chartreuse? - History, Use, Taste Test - Inebrious

[@AyoWayo]

Woah! I really like your channel. Props to you for nailing the shirt and tying in the history with the current Chartruese-panic-boom that some markets are seeing. Chartreuse is special to me. When my Dad went on hunting trips and starting in the 1990s, he would sip on Chartreuse in the snow-capped Oregon mountains. Low and behold nearly 30-years-later, now my brother and I are hooked. I'm sad that its going to be allocated, but I suppose that it will preserve the craft of it for many more years. But, I'll be buying a bunch to stock up, so my family and I can all sip on some from many more holidays to come because we always drink a bottle of green during Christmas. I actually have a bottle of green VEP, wood case and all, that I plan on opening and sipping whenever I bring my child home from the hospital.

Awesome story!! I know there are some folks who use Chartreuse regularly. Hopefully you can find an alternative if you can't get the amount you want. Being in snow capped mountains, try a shot in some hot chocolate. That's pretty popular in Switzerland.

@@Inebrious Oh yeah, verte chaud is one of my favorites. I ended up buying an entire case of Green after this was posted, along with a pair of Yellows, a pair of 1605s, three 9th Centuries, three Elixirs, and a single MOF so I can really stock up and never have to worry about finding them.

A couple notes: 1. I mentioned they 'lowered' production, and that was a misinterpretation. They are limiting production (they capped it, no longer increasing regardless of demand). 2. I just called my local store (Bottle Stop in Avon, CT) for a backup bottle, and they called me a couple weeks later saying they were holding one for me.
