Chevaleuer Verte

Chevaleuer Verte (Ænglish: Green Knight) is an herbal liqueur originally distilled by Toubourgish monks in the County of Amarre, Yonderre. The liqueur takes its name from the Green Knight of Yonderian folklore. It has been made since 1602 according to the instructions set out by Knight of the Realm Siegmar von Willing (1522 – 1607) in his autobiography Lebenserfahrungen und Erinnerungen des Reichsritters Siegmarns von Willing (Life experiences and memoirs of Knight of the Realm Siegmar von Willing). Chevaleuer Verte has been produced in a distillery on the grounds of the Toubourg Monastery since 1604, which quickly spurred copies of the popular liqueur. The Chevaleuer Verte is composed of distilled alcohol aged with 142 herbs, plants and flowers sourced locally and is one of very few liqueurs that continues to age and improve in the bottle.

Chevaleuer Verte is popular in Yonderre as both an aperitif and a digestif. It has a very strong characteristic taste, being at first very sweet, but then becoming both spicy and pungent. The taste is sensitive to serving temperature. It is most usually served at room temperature, but it can also yield good results by being served very cold. Different levels of alcohol content exist providing different nuances to the already complex taste profile of the Chevaleuer Verte; the "normal" green Chevaleuer Verte is bottled at 55% ABV/110 proof, while a paler yellow version, often referred to as "the Yellow Chevaleuer", is bottled at 40%.
