Why it's different: Chartreuse VEP Yellow is perhaps the king among all liqueurs, certainly the most Aged on the market. A Yellow Chartreuse with over 15 years of aging, in small barrels.
How I drink it: To be drunk strictly straight, to enjoy every nuance.
Focus: Chartreuse is a liqueur projected into the future, despite its centuries-old history. On 30 August 2018, the new distillery at Aiguenoire in Entre-deux-Guiers was inaugurated after 2 years of intense coatruzione work. The distillery stands on a historic site for the Fathers, in fact the parcel of land where it was built was first used by the monks as early as 1590 for their farming and fishing activities. They then bought it on 30 August 1618, exactly 400 years before the inauguration of Grand Avenir-Auguenoire. It is a return to the heart of the Chartreuse massif that gave rise to the monastic order, just 12 km from the Grande Chartreuse, whose first structures were built from 1084 onwards by order of Saint Bruno.
