Estate History and Heritage

The Carthusian order has guarded the mysterious 1605 manuscript of the “Elixir of Long Life” for over four centuries. Specifically, only two monks at any given time know the formula, selecting and blending the mountain herbs in total secret seclusion. Moreover, each wooden-cased bottle of V.E.P. is sealed with hand-poured green wax and individually numbered.

Today, Chartreuse V.E.P. Verte is one of the most intensely collected spirits in the world, celebrated for its immortal cellar longevity. As a result, this 1L bottle stands as an irreplaceable collector’s trophy.
