Amber Lane Debuts Chartreuse Casked Whisky
Australia-based Amber Lane distillery has released a whisky aged in a monk-produced yellow Chartreuse cask – Rue de La Chartreuse – which the distillery claims to be the ‘first of its kind’. Chartreuse is a French herbal liqueur traditionally created by Catholic order of monks called Carthusians and Amber Lane’s rendition has been officially approved by the Chevalier of the Order of Chartreuse, the formally trained representatives of the Chartreuse monk order.
Amber Lane Rue de la Chartreuse was initially matured in a single bourbon cask from Kentucky’s Heaven Hill distillery along with aging in the yellow Chartreuse cask for seven months, bottled at 46% alcohol by volume [92 proof] and is said to impart notes of the approximately 130 botanicals said to comprise the French herbal liqueur.
Only a mere 230 bottles of Amber Lane Rue de la Chartreuse are being made available beginning on May 16, 2025 – International Chartreuse Day – for $125 per bottle.
