It was produced for the first time in 1963.
"V.E.P." Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé (Exceptionally Prolonged Aging) is a registered trademark specific to Chartreuse.

Produced each year in limited quantities, the Chartreuse V.E.P. is made using the same processes as the Chartreuse Verte. The Carthusians took care to select certain traditional green liqueurs which will continue to age for many years in demi-muids. The patina of time allows it to develop aromas of great complexity and long persistence.

Tasting Notes :

Appearance: rich, deep green color

Nose: herbal and fragrant, with the prominent scents of mint, eucalyptus, sage, and other botanicals.

Palate: complex and well-balanced. Expect herbal intensity, with layers of flavors like anise, thyme, juniper, and a mix of bitter and sweet notes. The longer aging period gives it a smoother, more rounded taste compared to the younger Chartreuse Verte, with a longer finish and a subtle oakiness.

Finish: lingering, warm, and slightly spicy

Land: France, Isère

Distillery: Grande Chartreuse Monastery

Alcohol by volume: 54%
