Beyoncé is, without a doubt, one of the biggest stars in the world. With a career spanning two decades, nine number ones on the Billboard Hot 100, 316 million Instagram followers, and 32 Grammys to her name, ‘Queen Bey’ has undoubtedly had a huge global cultural impact. Now, she has channeled her creativity to produce SirDavis Whisky – a 51% rye, 49% malted barley blend, bold yet perfectly sippable.
The public reaction to the launch of SirDavis has been overwhelming, with countless pre-orders from all over the globe, and high praise from whisky critics. I am sure there are many who thought ‘What is Beyoncé doing releasing a whisky?’ Well, if the reception is anything to go by, she is changing the face of the whisky world.
Beyoncé Is Bringing Whisky To A New, Global Audience
In a world where the drinking habits of Millennials and Gen-Z are becoming less to do with alcohol, and more to do with unique flavor experiences, brands have struggled to appeal to the younger generation. Beyoncé has truly flipped this on its head. With timeless appeal and fans spanning not just generations, but genders and ethnicities, Beyoncé has brought whisky to a new audience.
This is evidenced purely by the number of likes that have already been received on her new Instagram post, showcasing a promo clip for SirDavis Whisky. At the time of writing, the post has garnered 513,000 likes in just 19 hours. By contrast, The Macallan’s Instagram post about the new TIME : SPACE 84 Year Old has gained just 1,486 likes in 5 days.

Empowering Women To Enjoy Whisky
It would be shortsighted of me not to mention the impact that the release of Beyoncé’s SirDavis Whisky will have on women. Not just those that enjoy whisky already, but those that want to. In her promo, Beyoncé inspires you to “satisfy your curiosity” and says “I want you to try something for the first time.” The promo video oozes confidence, decadence, and luxury. You cannot help but want to sample SirDavis.
In an industry that is typically male-dominated, the world of whisky can feel closed off to women. Beyoncé is challenging that mindset. Women can enjoy whisky too. And why shouldn’t they? If Beyoncé can, you can.
