Chartreuse V.E.P. Green Liqueur (1L) is the most exclusive expression of the iconic French herbal spirit, crafted by Carthusian monks using the same secret recipe of 130 botanicals that dates back to 1605. The “V.E.P.” designation—Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé—means this liqueur undergoes exceptionally prolonged aging in oak casks, resulting in a deeper, more refined, and smoother version of classic Green Chartreuse. Bottled at 54% ABV (108 proof), it retains the bold herbal complexity of the original, but with enhanced balance, richness, and texture.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Chartreuse V.E.P. Green is a true connoisseur’s bottle—luxurious, rare, and unforgettable.
