Black Velvet was first produced in 1951 and was originally known as Black Label. Master Distiller Jack Napier renamed the whisky after tasting the first batch, noting its extraordinarily smooth, velvet-like texture.
Black Velvet Reserve is crafted at the historic Palliser Distillery in Lethbridge, Alberta, where it undergoes a unique blending process before aging. This extra time in seasoned oak barrels softens the spirit, creating its signature velvety texture.
