Four generations from when Davis Hogue made whisky on his land, his legacy is honoured by his great-granddaughter, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
The 32-Grammy-winning icon has chosen five-time International Whisky Competition Master Distiller of the Year Dr. Bill Lumsden, to craft SirDavis, who has lent his expertise honed within the Scotch industry to redefine the taste profile of American whisky. With a unique mash bill of 51% rye and 49% barley, the spirit was treated to a secondary maturation in sherry casks, which has rounded out rye’s characteristically spicy notes with structured flavours of juicy red fruit. In a nod to Beyoncé's roots, SirDavis is finished, blended and bottled in her home state of Texas.
From this one-of-a-kind American whisky, expect a nose of tangy Seville oranges which mingle with soft sun-kissed raisins, while the sizzling spices of clove, cinnamon, and ginger play with luxurious notes of Demerara sugar and toffee. Rich and buttery toffee flavours on the palate are followed by an array of spices with cinnamon, clove, and classic rye spice up front. The spice is followed by soft malty and biscuity notes intertwined with a vibrant citrus top note, before a finish of honey, plump sultanas and ripe cherries.
