Yellow Liqueur: The Mellowest Chartreuse, Aged Far Longer Than Anyone Waits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChartreuse made in the monks’ cellars comes in two colors, and \u003cstrong\u003eChartreuse V.E.P. Yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e is the soft one. V.E.P. stands for \u003cstrong\u003eVieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé\u003c\/strong\u003e, “exceptionally prolonged aging,” a Chartreuse trademark for batches the Carthusian monks hand-select and leave in oak for years beyond the normal aging. The base is \u003cstrong\u003eYellow Chartreuse\u003c\/strong\u003e, the monks’ secret recipe of \u003cstrong\u003e130 herbs, plants, and flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e dating to 1605, honeyed and gentle compared with the fiery Green. The V.E.P. is bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e42% ABV (84 proof)\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a \u003cstrong\u003enumbered, wax-sealed 1 liter bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e, and made in limited quantities. Wine Enthusiast scored it 96 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s the most approachable of the Chartreuse liqueurs and one of the most rewarding to sip. Expect mild herbal and floral aromatics, then honey, saffron, sage, licorice, vanilla, and citrus rind, with anise, cardamom, and white pepper lingering in a smooth finish. Wine Enthusiast describes a supple sweetness, a floral palate of sage, saffron, elderberry, and thyme, and a finish that is soft and elegant. Serve it \u003cstrong\u003every cold\u003c\/strong\u003e as a digestif, in a small glass, with a cigar, or over one large cube. It’s a bottle for Chartreuse lovers, collectors, and anyone who wants the most refined version of a cocktail-bar classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eAbout the Bottle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerbal liqueur, exceptionally aged Yellow Chartreuse (V.E.P.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e130 botanicals; aged for years in oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42% ABV (84 proof); numbered and wax-sealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarthusian monks, France; limited production; 1 liter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Chartreuse’s importer, Wine Enthusiast, and retail notes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild herbal and floral aromatics, with bramble, fennel, and licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey, saffron, sage, vanilla, and citrus rind, with anise, cardamom, and white pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, soft, and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe honey and saffron pair well with blue cheese, roasted almonds, and dried apricots.
