Process & Production
SirDavis Rye Whiskey begins with a unique mash bill of 51% rye and 49% malted barley, bringing together the bold spice of American rye with the elegant, biscuity character often associated with Scotch and Japanese whiskies. After maturation in American oak barrels, the whiskey undergoes a secondary finishing period in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, enhancing the spirit with remarkable richness, fruit, and silky texture. Developed through years of collaboration between Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Moët Hennessy, and five-time International Whisky Competition Master Distiller of the Year Dr. Bill Lumsden, the whiskey was designed to redefine expectations of American whisky.
