About this product
Canada’s Smooth, Easy-Drinking Whisky.
Black Velvet is one of Canada’s most beloved whiskies, known for its approachable style and signature smoothness. First introduced in the 1950s, it quickly gained fans around the world for its mellow character and exceptional value. Crafted from a blend of fine Canadian grains and pure water, it is aged for at least three years in oak barrels, allowing the whisky to develop gentle complexity while remaining light and easy to enjoy.
The result is a whisky that lives up to its name — soft, velvety, and versatile. With notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, Black Velvet is equally at home neat, on the rocks, or mixed into long drinks and cocktails. For whisky drinkers in Ireland looking for an everyday bottle that delivers both quality and comfort, Black Velvet is a dependable favourite.
Why we love it:
It’s dependable, silky, and welcoming — a no-fuss whisky that’s just as good for a casual evening pour as it is behind a busy bar. Great value, smooth flavour, and easy charm in every glass.
