Faccia Bruto Centerbe

Not Green Chartreuse, but the closest ive found. Missing that punch at the beginning, not quite ass thick or strong. Still nice!

Everyone is going to compare this to Green chartreuse. And on that scale, it's close but not quite. It doesn't include the vanilla and viscous parts. So the body is much thinner and it is mich softer. But the herbal notes are definitely there and I appreciate that. It's tasty to sip on and super enjoyable on its own terms. Just dont go in thinking it'll be an easy chartreuse replacement.

Aroma is very similar to green chartreuse - impressively so. Taste is very good, but not as good as GC (which is a very high bar). Thst said, ive tried several GC substitutes and this one comes closest to the real thing. Would definitely recommend if chartreuse is hard to come by in your area.

Piney, herbal nose. Palate follows through with pine, sage, rosemary, mint and other herbs. Tried side by side with Green Chartreuse - misses the viscous, spicy punch of the real thing. But if supply chain issues continue (thanks Biden) we may all soon be buying this up.

1.14.21 Served: Neat Bottle Open: 6Mo-1Yr Side by side with chartreuse Aroma: Mostly fennel, some basil and oregano notes. Very savory and "green" compared to the minty and aqueous nature of chartreuse. Flavor: Mouthfeel is thinner. Starts with cardamom and fresh spices. Finishes with fennel and a bitterness leads into anise left on the tongue.
