Black Velvet Reserve, aged 8 years. 80 proof, sharp aroma, smells mostly of that odd Canadian sweetness, slightly off putting. This one might be bottled in Canada unlike the standard black velvet. It was priced only 4 bucks more than the standard BV as well. It was 13.99 for a 750 ml. It has a similar taste to regular BV, maybe a little less rye/sweet up front, yet still on the sweet side but not over doing it and you get the white oak or used oak on the back end. Taste better than it smells. Super smooth like water. A touch better than regular Black Velvet. Grade: C
