SirDavis, a new American whiskey created by Moët Hennessy and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, has been introduced to travel retail with DFS at major US airports. Travelers can now find the premium whiskey at duty-free stores in John F. Kennedy (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), and San Francisco (SFO) International airports. Special tasting sessions are available for passengers at DFS locations within JFK and LAX.
SirDavis whiskey is a tribute to Beyoncé’s great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, a farmer and moonshiner during Prohibition. The design of the bottle reflects the Art Deco style of Hogue’s era, with its sleek, ribbed glass creating an impression of luxury and elegance.
Crafted by Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden, the whiskey features a blend of 51% rye and 49% malted barley, with secondary maturation in sherry casks. This unique combination offers a smooth texture and a flavor profile reminiscent of Japanese and Scotch whiskies while maintaining the robust character of American rye.
The whiskey’s release in travel retail follows an “overwhelming” pre-order period that began on August 20. SirDavis is now available not only in airports but also in domestic retail across select US states, including California, New York, Texas, and more. The brand has also expanded internationally, with distribution in London, Paris, and Tokyo, and additional markets planned.
SirDavis is designed to stand out on shelves, both in its packaging and flavor. The bottle’s minimal branding and striking design set a new standard for modern luxury spirits. Along with a rich flavor experience, SirDavis offers a nod to tradition and innovation, aiming to appeal to both seasoned whiskey drinkers and new enthusiasts.
Travelers passing through DFS stores can also enjoy exclusive promotions, including a Gift-With-Purchase for DFS Circle App members, and can order the whiskey online for convenient pickup.
For a signature experience, try [Honey Bee], a cocktail paying homage to the brand's founder and crafted using SirDavis American Whisky, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup, garnished with honeycomb.

Kantala Spirits has introduced Gracia Cero, a new-age beverage that encourages mindful drinking while keeping the joy of social occasions intact. Positioned clearly as not anti-alcohol, Cero supports choice, moderation, and inclusivity, giving consumers the freedom to enjoy gatherings on their own terms.
Gracia Cero stands out as India’s first non-alcoholic agave drink, created for people looking to reset after festive indulgence, take part in Dry January, or simply adopt a more balanced drinking approach. The focus remains on flavour and experience, ensuring that choosing a zero-alcohol option never feels like a compromise.
Designed to fit seamlessly into parties, work events, and everyday social settings, Cero allows everyone at the table to feel included. Whether it’s a casual get-together or a formal gathering, the drink offers a refined alternative that blends in naturally with modern social rituals.
Completely alcohol-free and sugar-free, Gracia Cero contains 0% ABV and just 4 calories per serving. Made using agave, it delivers a clean, refreshing profile without alcohol, making it suitable for those prioritising health, detox routines, or mindful living, while still enjoying a premium beverage.
The brand brings a bold approach to flavour with two distinct variants, Raw ‘n’ Wild Mango and Pineapple Piñata. These flavour-forward options add a playful yet elevated touch, challenging the idea that non-alcoholic drinks need to be plain or predictable.
With Gracia Cero, Kantala Spirits aims to reshape modern drinking culture by offering a guilt-free way to raise a glass. Free from sugary mixers, next-day fatigue, or social pressure, Cero fits effortlessly into evolving lifestyle choices where balance and enjoyment go hand in hand.
