Chartreuse V.E.P. Green is the exceptionally long-aged expression of classic Green Chartreuse from the Carthusian monks, bottled at 54% ABV in a 1L format.
V.E.P. — Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé — means exceptionally prolonged aging in oak casks, producing a deeper, smoother, and more refined version of Green Chartreuse while keeping its bold herbal complexity. Made from the secret blend of 130 botanicals dating to 1605, it comes in an individually numbered, wax-sealed bottle in a wooden box.
