Velvet Cask Cognac Cream Liqueur
Velvet Cask Cognac Cream Liqueur combines real French Cognac with fresh dairy cream to create a rich, smooth cream liqueur with a fruit-and-oak character beneath its creamy texture. Unlike many cream liqueurs built on whiskey, Velvet Cask is built around Cognac: the brandy brings subtle fruit, vanilla, caramel and oak notes that complement the richness of the cream without making the profile overly heavy. Bottled at 30 proof (15% ABV) in a 750mL bottle, it is designed for approachable sipping and dessert-style drinks. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Cognac First, Cream Second
Most cream liqueurs lead with sweetness and hide their base spirit. Velvet Cask does the opposite: the Cognac's fruit, vanilla and oak stay present through the cream, so the glass tastes like a brandy drink first and a dessert second. That balance is what makes it work both neat after dinner and poured over ice. Explore more liqueurs and cordials and the cognac shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
The nose shows smooth vanilla, toasted caramel, light Cognac fruit and subtle oak. The palate is rich dairy cream, caramel, vanilla and cocoa, with gentle fruit-and-oak notes from the brandy, and the finish stays creamy and warm with toasted caramel and a soft oak echo.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled or over a large cube after dinner, pour it over ice cream or into coffee, or shake it into dessert cocktails where a whiskey cream would normally go. Keep refrigerated after opening, as with any dairy cream liqueur.
