Process & Profile

Chartreuse V.E.P. Yellow Liqueur 1L is a rare and highly collectible French herbal liqueur made by the Carthusian monks using the traditional Yellow Chartreuse recipe and aged for an exceptionally prolonged period in oak casks. V.E.P. stands for Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé, or Exceptionally Prolonged Aging, a special designation reserved for Chartreuse’s longer-aged expressions.

Made from alcohol, sugar, water, and 130 plants, flowers, bark, roots, and spices, Chartreuse V.E.P. Yellow offers a smoother, deeper, and more refined version of classic Yellow Chartreuse. The extended oak aging adds roundness, complexity, and a softer texture while preserving the liqueur’s signature herbal, floral, honeyed, and spice-driven character.

Bottled at 42% ABV in a 1L format, Chartreuse V.E.P. Yellow is presented in a reproduction of the historic 1840 bottle, sealed with a cork stopper and waxed back label. Each bottle is individually numbered and packaged in a wooden box branded with the symbol of the Carthusian Order, making it a standout bottle for collectors, cocktail programs, and serious liqueur enthusiasts.
