Black Velvet Description
Black Velvet first came out of the barrel in 1951 and has grown to become the second largest Canadian Whisky in the world. The brand was initially known as “Black Label,” but after Jack Napier, the original distiller, sampled the first batch, he changed the name to Black Velvet to reflect its uncommon velvety taste and smoothness. Using crystal clear Canadian water, plus the finest rye, grains, and corn, the whisky is painstakingly distilled, Blended at Birth, and put up in premium oak barrels to gently mature. The result is an uncompromised flavor with steadfast popularity. Aged for 10 years, this medium-bodied whisky delights with a mix of nutty, malty, and spice notes.
Wine Enthusiast: 89 Points
This maple-hued, 8-year-old whisky has a light, fruity aroma and light feel on the palate, with notes of vanilla, oak, espresso and clove. A flicker of alcohol heat creeps in on the long, drying finish.
