Reviewed March 2007Extra-aged Green Chartreuse. Aromas are keenly botanical and vegetal/woodsy. The palate shows peppermint, citrus peel, and sage along with the herbs and botanicals. Concludes with finesse and power.
Notes
The legendary aged liqueur of the Carthusian Monks is becoming more limited every year. Demand is through the roof on their highest-end liqueur, the VEP or Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé. After standard aging in large casks in their vast cellar in Voiron, a standout cask is selected and then filled into Taransaud oak barrels to be aged for an additional period of about 8 years. It is truly one of the world's great delicacies. Because of the unusually difficult method of production, supply will cannot be increased, so expect shortages indefinitely.
