Beyoncé Knowles is making headlines with her latest business venture: a whiskey brand named SirDavis. Announced on August 22, 2024, the launch marks another ambitious step for the superstar musician as she navigates the lucrative world of spirits, following in the footsteps of her husband, Jay-Z.
Taking to Instagram to reveal the news, Beyoncé shared a photo holding a glass of dark whiskey, captioned “DAVIS IN MY BONES.” The initial imagery of SirDavis features a sleek, custom leather case and a distinctive ribbed glass bottle adorned with the horse logo “Reneigh,” first seen on Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” album cover.
The whiskey brand has been registered under Moët Hennessy, a subsidiary of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, which aligns Beyoncé with the high-end market. The brand’s tagline, “The future of whisky is here,” suggests an innovative approach to the whiskey business.
The financial details of Beyoncé’s stake in SirDavis are not yet public, and neither her representatives nor LVMH have provided further specifics. However, the venture could potentially propel Beyoncé closer to billionaire status, mirroring the success of other celebrity alcohol brands. For context, Jay-Z’s investments in the alcohol sector have significantly boosted his wealth. He made $300 million from selling half of his champagne brand Ace of Spades to LVMH in 2021 and $750 million from selling a major stake in D’ussé Cognac to Bacardi.
A 750ml bottle of SirDavis is priced at $89.99 on the brand’s website, with shipments expected to begin in early September. Beyoncé’s entry into the whiskey market places her among a growing list of celebrities who have successfully launched their own spirits, including Ryan Reynolds with Aviation Gin, George Clooney with Casamigos tequila, and Sean “Diddy” Combs with Ciroc vodka and DeLeón tequila.
Beyoncé, who also released her first country music album “Cowboy Carter” earlier this year, joins other country musicians who have ventured into whiskey, such as Darius Rucker and Willie Nelson. Her move into this space is not only a new chapter for her business portfolio but also a potential driver toward reaching billionaire status.
As Beyoncé’s SirDavis hits the market, the industry will be watching closely to see if her brand can replicate the success seen by other high-profile spirits ventures. With her substantial influence and the backing of LVMH, SirDavis has the potential to make a significant impact on the whiskey landscape.
