This traditional digestive is made from a blend of 130 herbs in 54% wine, matured in oak barrels, which gives its natural colour. VEP stands for Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé, meaning "exceptionally prolonged ageing". The name of the herbs and distillation process is a secret well-kept by the Carthusian Monks. They are the only ones who know the recipe, which dates back to 1605.
Tasting notes
Herbal bittersweet flavor with oaky notes. The finish is mellow due to the long maturation.
