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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 proof (15% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase spirit:\u003c\/strong\u003e French Cognac blended with fresh dairy cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCognac First, Cream Second\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost 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.
