Certosino Giallo

This yellow liqueur is inspired by the Elixir Proprientatis of Paracelsus along with citrus fruits native to the Mediterranean.  It has a 50° alcohol content making it somewhat more mild in comparison to Certosino Verde and its citrus flavor profile compares favorably with the most famous orange liqueurs in the world.  The nose is floral with hints of citrus fruits, forest roots, herbs and exotic spices.  Notes of turmeric, citrus, anise and mushrooms provide base notes for this unique liqueur.

Preparation of Giallo differs substantially from that of Verde in that more time and additional processes of maceration and distillation for certain ingredients are required to isolate and enhance the citrus components.  Both liqueurs are characterized by an approachable complexity.  Once finished, the various plant extracts and distillates age until the flavors combine in a seamless and elegant manner.

Ingredients:  Alcohol, sugar, water, and more than 130 plant extracts (including bark, roots, spices and flowers).  Bottled in 750ml, 375ml and 50ml sample sizes.  Bottles are characteristic of Carthusian liqueurs including a bulbous neck as well as premium label that has been embossed hot foil stamped.
