SirDavis // USA
This bottling was made in partnership with Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Moët Hennessy which selected Dr. Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling for both Glenmorangie and Ardbeg Scotch whiskies, to lead this whisky's creation. Distilled in Indiana using a mash bill of 51% rye and 49% malted barley, it was then sent to Texas where it finished its maturation in sherry casks.
SirDavis is named in honor of Davis Hogue, Knowles-Carter’s paternal great-grandfather, who was a farmer and a moonshiner in the American South during Prohibition. Bottled at 44% ABV, it's available in September 2024 at US retailers as well as select airports (JFK, LAX, SFO) and stores in London, Paris, and Tokyo. (SRP $89).

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma is pretty grain-forward with hearty rye grain and nutty barley as well as some freshly baked cookies with lots of vanilla coming through. But there's also something like varnish on bookshelves here as well. Flavors continue to lean into the herbal grain notes with the whisky having a soft, watery feeling on the palate. Sweet notes are moderate and a touch of dried fruits comes through on the finish which is short-lived. Could be a bit more cohesive and it lacks complexity. Drinkable, but not one to seek out."
