If you look at the cap, you will see a series of numbers preceded by the letter “L.” On my bottle, the code is L929141. The L stands for lot number, and if you add the first three numbers – 929 in this case – to the year that the order of Chartreuse was founded (1084), you get the year that the bottle of Chartreuse was sealed. 929+1084 is 2013. The last 3 numbers is the day of the year that the bottle was sealed. My bottle of Chartreuse was sealed on the 141st day of the year. In this case: 916 + 1084 = 2000 bottled.
