Chartreuse Jaune’ is the lower-ABV yellow variety that was rolled out in the same year and has a completely different vibe. Before bottling at 40 percent alcohol by volume (ABV, 80 proof), the liqueur is aged in ash barrels "over a long period of time" to allow the various flavors and aromas to blend together. In 1764, the monks created a milder version of the elixir with a lower ABV — the one we now know as green Chartreuse.
