We all know our boy Drizzy keeps busy. If he’s not dropping three mixtapes, an album and an EP simultaneously, the Canadian-born rapper is likely rebooting his favourite TV series (Top Boy, Google it). But did you know that Champagne Papi also has a whiskey? A whiskey, that since its inception back in 2016, has become Canada’s highest-selling alcohol.
It’s called Virginia Black, a blend of two, three and four-year-old whiskey high in rye. Wondering what that means? Rye’s from the wheat family, similar to barley, so when there's a high volume of the stuff it’ll give off a richer and harder-edged profile.
Those drawing back to their old man’s whiskey selection can rest easy that Heartbreak Drake’s Virginia Black is bringing a new school of thought to the alcohol, looking toward a more contemporary flavour with hints of vanilla and honeyed cherries—yep, that sounds like Driz.
“We believe everyone should have access to glamour, swagger and soul. Virginia Black grants them that access, allowing people to embody the lifestyle always, not just on special occasions,” said Drake.
Virginia Black comes in at a bold 40% ABV. You can find it for $99.99 at Bevmart.
