Detailed Description
Black Velvet Toasted Caramel Whisky is a distinctive blend, infusing hints of sweet caramel into the smooth, easy-drinking flavor you’ve come to expect from Black Velvet. A perfect balance of caramel flavor and warm, toasted notes allows its smooth, defined whisky character to come through. The result is a velvety, rich whisky you can enjoy straight, on the rocks, or blended with your favorite mixer.
Black Velvet Toasted Caramel Canadian Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: Caramel cream, toasted oak and fresh hot toffee. Just a trace of rich sweet spirit rides a rippling swell of roasted toastiness which will soon have you hearing Yule logs a cracklin’.
Palate: Toffee-sweet with the woody heart of maple syrup, rousing warm pepper and a balancing citrus pith. The pepper grows more intense with each sip as a welcome rich, buttery creaminess envelopes the palate. Whisky notes themselves hang way in the background at first, with just the essence of the rye overlain with buckets of toasty caramel. The simple and sweet beginning becomes much less one-dimensional as developing pepper and rye spices push the flavour more into whisky territory.
Finish: Surprisingly long and whisky-like with a slight heat and a delightfully clean tannic pithiness. Peppery rye spices that were masked in the caramel begin to glow softly in the throat.
