Lot number: 0532238
Winning bid: £20
Produced by Schenley Industries and originally known as "Black Label", the name of this Canadian Rye was changed to "Black Velvet" in the 1940s to reflect it's velvety smoothness. Around the same time, it was apparently the only liquor available to submarine officers stationed at Midway during the second world war, where it was held in poor regard and known as Schenley's Black Death.
Distilled: 1981
40% ABV / 75cl
