Yellow Genepy (750mL)

YELLOW is a delicate and floral aperitif; Forthave's hommage to yellow Chartreuse. Given that the Carthusian monks who produce Chartreuse are 'quiet quitting', Forthave Yellow is what we're reachign for.

For their 2023 release, their natural wine base of 100% Seyval Blanc was made for the distillery by Barbichette wines in the Finger Lakes, three separate infusions are made with rare white génépi flowers from a single grower in the Savoie alpine region of France, before all is blended together. The wine base, separate infusions and deft blending make for a liqueur that has more finesse and easily enjoyed on ice, with a splash of sparkling water or served in a myriad of genepy based cocktails.

The distillery was founded by two friends: painter Aaron Sing Fox and writer/producer Daniel de la Nuez. We use only plant-based ingredients in our spirits. Our library of botanicals includes over 200 different types of herbs - roots and barks, leaves and flowers, and fruits and seeds - and from that collection, our spirits are born. We macerate in stainless steel tanks, use no artificial filtering agents or artificial colors, and the only sweeteners used are raw: organic turbinado sugar or raw honey from Upstate New York. Almost all the of the ingredients are USDA organically certified- the few that aren’t, have either been grown by small farmers without certification or wild foraged.
