Black Velvet 3 Year Old Blended Canadian Whisky 1.75L is the original blended Canadian whisky produced at the Black Velvet Distillery in Lethbridge, Alberta. It is made with Canadian water and a combination of rye, grain, and corn whiskies. The components are distilled and “Blended at Birth” before entering oak barrels, allowing the blend to mature together for three years. This large-format PET bottle contains 1.75 liters and is bottled at 40% ABV / 80 proof.
The established profile is medium-bodied and softly sweet, with caramel and vanilla at the center, followed by coconut and a measured note of rye spice. Caramel and vanilla provide the rounded core, while coconut adds another sweet dimension and the rye spice supplies a drier counterpoint. The three-year maturation gives the component whiskies time to integrate after their pre-barrel blending. Bottling at 40% ABV keeps those sweet grain and oak-derived notes in balance with the whisky’s restrained spice. The broad-shouldered 1.75L PET format uses a screw-cap closure and contains the same original three-year expression in a larger bottle.
