Chartreuse V.E.P. 1 Litre
Chartreuse was originally created in 1605 by monks using a recipe for an elixir of long life. It was produced produced between 1904-1989 in Tarragona (Spain) after the Carthusian Monks were exiled from France. In 1989 the distillery in Tarragona closed down and the production of this liquor returned to France. Today the bottles produced in the distillery of Tarragona have become some of the most expensive and sought after liquors in the world. The recipe contains more than 130 different plants and flowers.
A special edition, this Chartreuse was made in the Voiron production facility in France. VEP is produced using the same process as regular Chartresuse products, but has been extra-aged in oak casks. Indeed, VEP stands for Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé, which means "aged for an exceptionaly long time."
The first Chartresue VEP was sold in 1963.
