Chartreuse Yellow V.E.P. Liqueur (1L, 42%)

Chartreuse Yellow V.E.P. is an aged French herbal liqueur made by the Pères Chartreux. V.E.P. stands for Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé, meaning exceptionally prolonged ageing, and it is bottled at 42% vol in a 1 litre bottle. It is softer, rounder and more honeyed than Green Chartreuse, while keeping the herbal intensity of the house style. The nose brings honey, wild herbs, citrus peel, mint, anise and warm spice. On the palate it is smooth and honeyed, with alpine herbs, saffron-like spice, lemon zest and fennel. The finish is long and warming, with herbs, honey and citrus. It suits serving well chilled or neat after dinner.
