Black Velvet 3 Year Canadian Whisky

Black Velvet 3 Year Canadian Whisky: Unrivaled Smoothness, Unbeatable Value

Discover the legendary smoothness that made it a global favorite with Black Velvet 3 Year Canadian Whisky. Crafted with over 65 years of expertise, this iconic Canadian whisky is celebrated for its distinctive velvety texture and approachable flavor, making it a staple in bars and homes worldwide.

Black Velvet distinguishes itself with its unique "blended at birth" process. Unlike many whiskies where spirits are aged separately and then blended, Black Velvet blends its individual grain whiskies (primarily corn and rye) before they are put into premium oak barrels to mature. This allows the flavors to integrate harmoniously from the very beginning of the aging process. The whisky is then patiently aged for a minimum of 3 years in quality oak barrels, contributing to its signature mellow character. The result is an exceptionally smooth, medium-bodied whisky with a delicate balance of sweet and spicy notes. Bottled at a versatile 40% ABV (80 Proof), Black Velvet 3 Year Canadian Whisky is designed to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a remarkably smooth foundation for any cocktail.
