One of the world's most unique and enigmatic spirits is Chartruese, a herbal liqueur produced by Carthusian monks since the mid 1700s. It has a fascinating history and complex distillation process, and is considered by some to be the only spirit that truly "ages" in the bottle. Philippe Rochez of Chartruese will be here to tell the fabled story of Chartreuse and pour several different examples of it to savor.
