Beyoncé sought out Moët Hennessy to craft the perfect blend, working with decorated Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden. A blend of personal history and contemporary elegance, SirDavis is named after Beyoncé’s great-grandfather David Hogue, a moonshiner in the American South during Prohibition. When Knowles’ father visited his grandfather, it was the first time he had heard a black man referred to as “Sir.”
“When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man,” SirDavis founder Beyoncé Knowles-Carter said in a statement, “it felt like my love for whisky was fated. SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy.”
