Do you mean Chartreuse in particular or just herbed liqueur? I'm not sure on C's particular method but for liqueurs Sometimes they're macerated then distilled (sometimes each botanical os distilled separately for blending consistency), sometimes they are put into a hanging basket inside of the still, so the vapor is subtly flavored as it passes through, and sometimes they're aged with the herbs, a la dry hopping.
