Black Velvet’s 12-Year-Old Tawny Port Finish Canadian Whisky is a sophisticated, limited-release extension that marries the brand’s signature smoothness with the rich, fruit-forward complexity of seasoned port casks. Pours a deep, burnished copper with warm ruby-amber highlights in the glass, it opens with an inviting and aromatic nose of dark plums, black cherries, and dried red figs, elegantly layered with creamy caramel, toasted hazelnuts, and a subtle whisper of vinous sweetness. Medium-bodied and luxuriously velvety on the palate at 40% ABV (80 proof), it delivers a harmonious, fruit-driven core of blackberry jam, sultanas, and honeyed malt, seamlessly balanced by baking spices and gentle oak warmth. It culminates in a smooth, lingering, and satisfyingly sweet finish that leaves a refined trail of dark orchard fruit and mellow spice.
