First go round with this baddie. Tasted side by side with the L. Garnier Liqueur Fabriquée Par Les Pères Chartreux (9.8). Occupying a beautiful and necessary niche space between the Les Pères Chartreux and your standard yellow or green Chartreuse (9.3/9.5 respectively). This one is yellow and adds more honeycomb/beeswax along with increased intensity to the equation. Worth the pursuit. 8.25.25. — 4 months ago

Hard to beat for the price,
K&L notes,
The pristine condition of this stunningly copper-colored brandy is inspiring - it's gorgeous. In the nose there are delicate fragrances of spice, sesame seed, light oak, and baked pears; seven more minutes in the glass bring out pineapple, light toffee, milk, and brown sugar. The palate entry is elegant, composed, and moderately sweet in more of an oaky than a fruity way; by the midpalate stage, there's flavor evidence of ripe pear, white grapes, cake frosting, Oloroso sherry, orange peel, and dark honey. End up sugary sweet, satiny textured, and long in the throat. 4 Stars - Highly Recommended - Spirit Journal - F. Paul Pacult 40% ABV

The wood from Vat 147 smoothes this out and gives it a brandy feel. Less heat, more herbs and sweetness. — 2 months ago
After Mr. L. F. scarred the shit out of me on the 17‘ Enderle & Moll‘s. I took a look at the Basis wine. And guess what it’s pretty good! Rosé like color. Orange zest on the nose. Tons of acid so some folks might take a step back. Then morello cherries and back palate herbs. Touch band aid. Could run for another 3-5 years. Not one of their top efforts but not bad either. Needs tons of air. — 2 years ago

Amongst the rarest elixirs I’ve ever had the privilege to try. “Une Chartreuse” is so scarce, many Chartreuse lovers don’t even know it exists. They make a yellow and a green and this is the only bottle I’ve seen of either. Perfect as far as I’m concerned. — 11 days ago
