SirDavis Takes NYC: Inside the Brand’s Signature Holiday Moment

by Nyah Davis December 14, 2025
written by Nyah Davis

SirDavis American Whisky stopped by The Oculus bearing a gift of an experience on December 12th and 13th. The whiskey brand had Beyoncé fans and enthusiasts alike buzzing about A Signature Pour: The SirDavis Holiday Experience. Guests in NYC were invited to celebrate the brand with cocktail samplings, personalized bottle bands, a photo with the iconic robot from the Cowboy Carter Tour, and a bottle of SirDavis.

Superstar, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, joined Moët Hennessy to bring SirDavis to life in 2024. The singer-songwriter has since promoted her whiskey brand in her Cowboy Carter Tour.

Many have been curious about Beyoncé direction in business ventures, as she promotes her fairly new spirits brand. She told GQ in September 2024, “I’ll never forget the first day I had whiskey. It spoke to me nice. I remember thinking, Why have I never had this before? It was strong and warm, just the right amount of challenge. I loved the process, the ritual of it. Whiskey isn’t something you just shoot down. It’s a commitment. You gotta have patience. I like that.” The singer continued, “And I love the stories that come with it. Every bottle has a history. I also like introducing whiskey to people who don’t know they love it yet. I think a lot more women would love it if they tasted it, and if they were really spoken to by the whiskey world.”

With Beyoncé’s passion for the American award-winning SirDavis, there’s no doubt that her brand has gained the likes of many.

SirDavis’ Holiday Experience provided guests with a taste of their signature cocktails including Sleigh Bell, Espresso Martini, and Honey Bee. Participants also had the opportunity to purchase their very on SirDavis bottle to compliment their personalized band.

What’s a tastemaker event without capturing the moment?  As a final touch, the iconic robot from the Cowboy Carter Tour made a special appearance, pouring classic SirDavis Whisky into guests’ glasses while adding an immersive, futuristic touch to the installation.

From personalized details to immersive moments, the SirDavis Holiday Experience embodied the brand’s bold, intentional spirit. In true Cowboy Carter fashion, SirDavis proved it knows how to leave a lasting impression…especially in New York City.

ON THE SCENE: Join Us For the New York Premiere of “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”

by Julia Mazza April 17, 2024
written by Julia Mazza

On Monday, April 17, we were invited to join in on the festivities at the New York City premiere of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, directed by Guy Ritchie and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer—and were encouraged to indulge in concoctions provided by Johnnie Walker.

Our evening of merrymaking started at the AMC Lincoln Square, where we were greeted with free popcorn and a soft drink—but that was only the first surprise of the evening. Cheers began to fill the room as Jerry Bruckheimer, Henry Cavill, Eiza González, and Hero Fiennes Tiffin walked down the theater aisles to introduce the film.

“As much as this movie is a lot of fun,” Cavill tells the audience, “it also highlights the importance of what these warriors did.”

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is fictionalized account—with many creative liberties—of Operation Postmaster during World War II. With tactics deemed “ungentlemanly” by Winston Churchill, a team of operatives embarked on a dangerous mission—and contributed to changing the course of the war.

“These types of female characters are inspiring, are what I think what embodies the 21st century woman,” Eiza González shared into the microphone, “I felt honored myself to be Marjorie Stewart.”

After the screening, guests were invited to attend the premiere after-party at the Ascent Lounge in Columbus Circle—presented by Johnnie Walker.

Jerry Bruckheimer joined the cast of the film for the festivities as a DJ spun tracks to set the vibe. Bartenders made splendid use of Johnnie Walker Blue Label with movie-inspired cocktails including The Strategist (the brand’s take on the trendy Espresso Martini) and The Saboteur (a twist on an Old Fashioned.)

Henry Cavill, Babs Olusanmokun, and Cary Elwes also mingled with guests and posed for selfies. Henry Golding even stopped by the bar to enjoy The Saboteur for himself.

How ungentlemanly indeed.

“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” directed by Guy Ritchie and featuring an all-star cast, sweeps into theaters on Friday, April 19.
