SirDavis Whisky

The "Cowboy Carter" singer announced her venture into the liquor industry withSirDavis Whisky ($89), which pays homage her home state of Texas and her family. The brand's name is in honor of her great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, who was a farmer and moonshiner in the South.

“When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whisky was fated. SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy,” Beyoncé said in a statement.

Using oak barrels and sherry casks for its aging process, the product is broken down to 51% rye and 49% malted barley. The result is a texture reminiscent of Japanese and Scotch whiskies with the deep flavor of American rye.

BSB-Brown Sugar Bourbon

After first enjoying the sweet bourbon at one of his parties, Foxx decided to mix business and pleasure. The Golden Globe winner is the new owner of BSB — a spirit company first launched in 2016. Under Foxx's creative direction is the original BSB-Brown Sugar Bourbon, a smooth liquor with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar, and the "big brother" of the brand, BSB 103, which is a higher proof, bolder bourbon. "Before the quarantine I watched bottles of BSB disappear at all my celebrations and knew this was a brand I wanted to bring into the spotlight," he said in a press release. "Anyone who tries BSB is going to love it just like I do."
