First introduced in 1951, the brand was originally known as Black Label, but master distiller Jack Napier renamed it Black Velvet after tasting the first exceptionally smooth batch. Today, it remains one of the best-selling Canadian whiskies in the world, celebrated for its consistent, friendly style.
Black Velvet was originally produced in Valleyfield, Quebec, before its production moved to the historic Palliser Distillery in Lethbridge, Alberta. The whisky utilizes high-quality local grains and pure Canadian water, matured in select oak barrels to achieve its signature velvety smoothness.
