Beyoncé's bottle pays homage to her great-grandfather

All whiskey is produced by fermenting grains, distilling the resulting alcohol, and aging the spirit in wooden barrels. However, as any enthusiast will tell you, the recipes can vary significantly, resulting in a wide range of styles from corn-based bourbon to Scotch. While most rye whiskeys contain a certain amount of corn, which adds sweetness to the drink, each bottle of Beyoncé's SirDavis features a mash bill consisting of 51% rye and 49% malted barley, delivering a rich, spicy flavor. Utilizing traditional whisky-making methods associated with refined Japanese and Scotch whiskies, this spirit is aged in sherry casks, enhancing its flavor profile with notes of fruit and spices.
The award-winning craftsmanship of this whisky may challenge any preconceived notions about celebrity alcohol brands when it comes to SirDavis. Additionally, Beyoncé's family history, highlighted in her country-inspired album "Cowboy Carter," underscores her dedication to producing a high-quality product. The brand is named after her great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, a moonshiner in the South during Prohibition who would hide his bottles in the cedar trees on his farm, as noted on the SirDavis website. In a press release, Beyoncé shared, "When I learned that my great-grandfather was a moonshine man, it felt like my passion for whisky was destined. SirDavis is my way of honoring him, connecting us through a new shared legacy."
