This American whiskey, born from a collaboration between Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Moët Hennessy, pays tribute to Davis Hogue, the singer's great-grandfather and a moonshiner during Prohibition. Made from a blend of 51% rye and 49% malted barley, it is aged in new American oak barrels and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The nose reveals aromas of orange, raisins, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger, complemented by notes of cane sugar and toffee. A touch of vanilla and candied fruit adds an enveloping sweetness, while a slight hint of smoke recalls its aging in sherry casks. On the palate, the attack is both powerful and silky, with flavors of caramel, candied yellow fruit, and sweet spices. The texture, round and velvety, reveals a beautiful tension between the liveliness of citrus fruits and the warmth of spices, before giving way to a long and persistent finish, marked by notes of cinnamon, honey, and a subtle hint of smoke.
A bold and elegant whiskey that reinvents the codes of American whiskey by combining tradition and modernity. A unique creation, reflecting its heritage.
