Discretia is a herbal liqueur created by the renowned Rhône wine house M. Chapoutier, distilled in copper alembics from more than forty botanicals, including alpine plants, spices, roots, bark and French grapes, then aged in old Hermitage oak casks or stainless steel. It opens with citrus and herbs, lemon and bergamot, moving through fennel, cedar and gentian, before a long finish of tobacco, nutmeg and gentle bitterness. Silky in texture, it can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or in cocktails, appealing to fans of Chartreuse-style herbal liqueurs.
The production of Chartreuse is a closely guarded secret that has been passed down through generations of Carthusian monks. The process begins with the harvesting of more than 130 different herbs and plants from the surrounding mountains, including angelica, hyssop, and thyme. These herbs are then macerated in alcohol for several weeks, after which the mixture is distilled and blended with honey and sugar to create a sweet and aromatic base. The base is then infused with a secret blend of herbs and spices. The liqueur is aged in oak barrels for several years to allow the flavours to mature and develop.
While there are a number of vintage releases and special editions - the two main types of Chartreuse are the 'Green' and 'Yellow' variants. Green Chartreuse is the original recipe and has a higher alcohol content of 55% while Yellow Chartreuse is a milder version with a lower alcohol content of 40%. Both varieties are enjoyed as digestifs or used as a key ingredient in classic cocktails such as the Last Word and the Bijou.
