SirDavis Rye Sherry Cask 750 ml

Introducing SirDavis, a limited-edition rye whiskey born from the creative vision of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter in partnership with Moët Hennessy. This marks the first brand developed entirely in-house by Moët Hennessy within the U.S., rather than acquired — a significant milestone for the spirits giant.

Crafted by renowned whisky maker Dr. Bill Lumsden, this debut expression features an unconventional mash bill of 51% rye and 49% malted barley. The whiskey is distilled and aged before being shipped to Texas — Beyoncé’s home state — where it is finished in rich Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Blending and bottling also take place in Texas, with the final product released at 88 proof. While the bottle carries no age statement, it exceeds the minimum two-year requirement for straight rye.

The name SirDavis pays tribute to Beyoncé’s paternal great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, a farmer and Prohibition-era moonshiner who, as family lore goes, once hid his spirits in cedar trees to keep them safe from authorities.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fruit-forward and slightly less herbal than typical ryes, with a noticeable dried oak presence that lingers throughout.

• Palate: Starts light and oak-driven, likely reflecting time spent in multiple cask types. Spice emerges next cinnamon and nutmeg followed by a wave of fruit that rounds out the profile.

• Finish: Long and dry with pronounced rye spice. Tannic and structured, it evokes the feel of a bold, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon.
