Stillgarden Buí 43 and Glas 55 number 13
Chartreuse herbal liqueurs have been created by Carthusian monks in France since the 18th century, but, in 2019, the religious order decided to scale back production to focus on their monastic lifestyle.
To keep up with demand – driven by an increased interest in at-home mixology during the Covid-19 pandemic – Dublin’s Stillgarden Distillery has created its own Chartreuse-style liqueurs.
Buí 43 is a yellow herbal liqueur created with botanicals such as Irish honey, lemon balm, cloves, anise, and other herbs.
The green-hued Glas 55, meanwhile, has a lemon balm, peppermint, and sage base.
