First introduced in 1951, Black Velvet was originally known as Black Label, but was renamed after its creator, Master Distiller Jack Napier, remarked on the remarkably velvety texture of the blend. It has since grown to become one of the most widely recognized and popular Canadian whiskies in the world.
This iconic Canadian whisky is distilled at the Black Velvet Distillery in Lethbridge, Alberta. It utilizes a unique blending process where the spirit is combined at birth before being aged in selected oak casks to achieve its signature velvety smoothness.
