Black Velvet’s 12-Year-Old Signature Canadian Whisky is an aged, premium expression that builds upon the brand’s signature smoothness with an extra layer of mature cask complexity. Pours a deep, polished amber-gold in the glass, it opens with an inviting and aromatic nose of rich maple syrup, sweet caramel, toasted oak, and a subtle hint of fresh orchard fruit. Medium-bodied and exceptionally velvety on the palate at 40% ABV (80 proof), it delivers a harmonious core of creamy vanilla, brown butter, dried apricot, and gentle warming rye spices. It culminates in a smooth, lingering, and satisfyingly sweet finish that leaves a refined trail of oak spice and comforting warmth.
