A little background
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has partnered with Moët Hennessy to introduce SirDavis American Whisky, a bold new spirit that blends American tradition with global refinement. Named in tribute to Knowles-Carter’s great-grandfather Davis Hogue, a farmer and moonshiner in the Prohibition-era South, SirDavis embodies both heritage and innovation. This unique whiskey, crafted by Moët Hennessy’s five-time International Whisky Competition Master Distiller of the Year, Dr. Bill Lumsden, features a pioneering mash bill of 51% rye and 49% barley. SirDavis American Whisky is finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, bottled at 88 proof, and carries a retail price of $90 USD.
