CHARTREUSE  , a liqueur, so called from having been made at the famous Carthusian monastery, La Grande Chartreuse, at

Grenoble (see below) . In consequence of the Associations Law, the Chartreux monks left France in 1904, and now continue the manufacture of this liqueur in Spain . There are two main varieties of Chartreuse, the green and the yellow . The green contains about 57, the yellow about 43% of alcohol . There are other differences due to the varying nature and quantity of the flavouring matters employed, but the secrets of manufacture are jealously guarded . The genuine liqueur is undoubtedly produced by means of a distillation process .
