LENNY KRAVITZ – HONEY VIDEO

4-time GRAMMY® Award-winning writer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and all around multi-hyphenate icon, Lenny Kravitz releases his new music video “Honey,” the latest offering from his critically acclaimed 12th studio album Blue Electric Light, released earlier this year via Roxie Records/BMG. Watch “Honey” HERE.

Directed by Diana Kunst (A$AP Rocky, Rosaliá, Shygirl), the “Honey” music video captures a glimpse of life with Kravitz as he basks by the pool, jams to music, lounges in bed and more. His honey takes in these sweet moments with Lenny, photographing him along the way.

“Honey” is the fourth single from Blue Electric Light, following “arena-ready” (GRAMMY) “TK421,” “absolutely infectious” (Forbes) “Human” and “thrillingly… ‘80s heavy metal” (Associated Press) “Paralyzed.” It follows the recent announcement of all-new European tour dates for the Blue Electric Light Tour 2025. From February 22 to April 14, Kravitz and his band will make their way across western Europe’s biggest arenas, including OVO Arena Wembley in London, O2 Arena in Prague and La Defense Arena in Paris. See below for full tour routing.

This week, Kravitz performed a special slate of shows in residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. Next, he will cap off the year with the Blue Electric Light Tour 2024 in South America. Tickets for all upcoming Lenny Kravitz Blue Electric Light Tour can be found at lennykravitz.com.

Both the “Honey” music video release and Blue Electric Light Tour continues what Billboard calls the “Lennaissance,” a period of worldwide success for Kravitz, who released his critically-acclaimed 12th studio album Blue Electric Light in May. The Associated Press described the project as “glorious… the rocker’s best stuff in years,” while NPR called it a “kaleidoscope of soaring rock, psychedelic funk, gentle soul and more.” Also this year, Kravitz was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the “Music Icon Award” at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, the “Best Rock Award” at the 2024 Video Music Awards and the CFDA’s “Fashion Icon Award.” In June, Kravitz took Europe by storm on his Blue Electric Light Tour 2024, featuring can’t-miss live performances of favorites off Blue Electric Light as well as Kravitz classics from his decades-spanning oeuvre.

The resulting liquid lets The Balvenie’s signature honey character and the true essence of its world-renowned spirit shine through. The expression offers a nose rich with sweet toffee, vanilla, and honey, complemented by subtle spice and delicate toasted oak. On the palate, it features runny honey and soft, sweet cereal notes, revealing a lively citrus zing alongside sweet fruits and gentle spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of honey, vanilla, and light spice, with a subtle touch of citrus. 

THE BALVENIE 14-YEAR-OLD AMERICAN BOURBON BARREL [$114.99]

Aged for 14 years, the American Bourbon Barrel single malt Scotch expression offers velvety sweet aromas of rich toffee and smouldering oak, revealing crisp citrus scents and ever flowing honey musk. On the palate, candied orange peel is grounded in woody, earthy flavors from beautifully roasted malt and deep vanilla oakiness, resulting in a long and lingering finish.

GLENFIDDICH 18-YEAR-OLD [$134.99 LINK TO PURCHASE]

A rare single malt created for the connoisseur, Glenfiddich 18-Year-Old is a fine testament to the art of the craftsman. The whisky’s complex character and sublime mellowness comes from the long years of maturation in the finest Oloroso sherry casks and traditional bourbon casks. The resulting touch of sweetness from the sherry wood is perfectly balanced by the oakiness drawn from the traditional casks to deliver a single malt Scotch whisky of brilliant character – smooth and full-bodied.

THE BALVENIE FRENCH OAK 16-YEAR-OLD [$174.99 LINK TO PURCHASE]

The Balvenie French Oak 16-Year-Old is a vibrant single malt finished in casks that previously held Pineau wine from the French Charentes vineyards. The expression explores the use of Pineau French Oak casks for the first time in the distillery’s 130-year history. Pineau des Charentes, or simply Pineau, is a fortified wine made from unfermented grape juice, to which Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured. The result is a refreshingly concise finish and rich flavor profile, marked by the energizing taste of tangy lemon rind and grapefruit in combination with the subtle sweetness of glazed fruits and root ginger spice.

Glenfiddich’s Gran Reserva is carefully matured for 21 years in American Oak ex-Bourbon barrels and European Oak Oloroso Sherry casks for balanced flavor. After at least 21 years maturing in American Oak casks, the precious 21-year-old single malt is finished for up to four months in casks soaked with a custom blend of Golden rum – Glenfiddich’s Malt Master’s secret recipe of using spirit from three Caribbean islands. The result is a unique and elegantly balanced single malt which is a true reflection of the passion for perfection passed down through the family since 1887. This luxury Single Malt also makes for the perfect Daiquiri base that transports imbibers to the tropics of the Caribbean Islands.

GLENFIDDICH GRAND CRU [$299.99 LINK TO PURCHASE

Grande Couronne is the epitome of opulence, uncorked at your most grand and meaningful celebrations. Its very name, meaning crown in French is the promise of the excellence in each drop of this precious single malt.

A whisky of refinement and remarkable character, The Balvenie 21-Year-Old Portwood is a marriage of rare Balvenie transferred to port casks which have previously held fine port wines.

On the palate, the expression is creamy and silky with fruit, honey and spice notes, giving way to a long and gentle nutty finish. 

THE BALVENIE 18-YEAR-OLD FRENCH PINEAU CASK FINISH [$399.99]

The French Pineau Cask is aged 10 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and European oak casks, followed by 8 years in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. The result is a single malt whisky with warm amber aromas of toasted oak and delicate spice, complemented by smooth butterscotch and hints of ripe berries. On the palate, intriguing layers of spice and rich sweetness meld with creamy vanilla and honey, revealing gentle oaky tannins that linger long after the first sip. 

THE BALVENIE 19-YEAR-OLD A REVELATION OF CASK AND CHARACTER  [$503.99 LINK TO PURCHASE]

Crafted solely by Kelsey McKechnie since it was announced she has stepped up into the role of Malt Master for The Balvenie, this 19-Year-Old, limited-edition offering will be the only 100% Sherry cask-matured liquid in the range. A Revelation of Cask and Character sits within The Balvenie’s award-winning Stories Range – a series bringing to life the stories of the people and places behind the whisky, while celebrating the creativity, passion and skills passed from one generation of craftsmen to the next. Unique and bold, this single malt Scotch offers complex flavors of currants, cherries and raisins, giving way to chewy fig, rich cacao and a creamy nutty finish. 

GLENFIDDICH 29-YEAR-OLD GRAND YOZAKURA [$2,000 LINK TO PURCHASE]

Grand Yozakura is an all-new 29-Year-Old Scotch whisky, matured at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Scotland and finished in oak casks that previously held the oldest distilled alcoholic spirit in Japan: Awamori.

The rarest within the Time Re:Imagined Collection, the 50-Year-Old, portrays Simultaneous Time, exploring the parallel and complex conditions that have influenced the liquid. Glenfiddich’s 40-Year-Old represents Cumulative Time, drawing attention to the layers of accumulated flavor, made possible via the remnant vatting process, first pioneered by the brand. Completing the Collection is the 30-Year-Old, embodying Suspended Time – representing the moment when the Malt Master suspends the development of the whisky, showcasing the purest expression of the distiller’s character.

Moët Hennessy + Beyoncé – SirDavis

Moët Hennessy and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter Launch Groundbreaking New Whisky – SirDavis

The award-winning spirit offers a new, unexpected take on American whisky.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has joined forces with Moët Hennessy, a subsidiary of LVMH, to create SirDavis, a groundbreaking new whisky. The first-of-its-kind joint venture reflects a shared vision between Knowles-Carter and Moët Hennessy, two vanguards of culture and craft, around the future of American whisky.

This unique product was years in the making after Knowles-Carter, a Japanese whisky enthusiast, sought out Moët Hennessy to help craft a one-of-a-kind flavor profile that reflected her whisky ideal. Meanwhile, Moët Hennessy had been exploring ways to deepen its presence in the American whisky market, making the timing kismet for a partnership between the world-leading luxury group and Knowles-Carter.

“I’ve always been drawn to the power and confidence I feel when drinking quality whisky and wanted to invite more people to experience that feeling,” says SirDavis Founder Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. “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. In partnering with Moët Hennessy, we have crafted a delicious American whisky that respects tradition but also empowers people to experience something new and unique in the category. You can taste it better than I could ever tell you — welcome, SirDavis.”

SirDavis is named in honor of Davis Hogue, Knowles-Carter’s paternal great-grandfather, who was a farmer and a moonshiner in the American South during Prohibition. He stashed whisky bottles in the empty knots of cedar trees for friends and kin to find and enjoy. For Knowles-Carter, it was this discovery that made the idea of creating a whisky brand feel predestined. Four generations later, the legacy comes to life – rather than hidden in the trees, bottles of SirDavis proudly grace the top shelves of fine purveyors of spirits around the world.  

“SirDavis is not only a revelatory and exceptional American Whisky, which we are very proud of. It is also a testament of the unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, heritage and innovation shared by LVMH and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter,” said Bernard Arnault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LVMH. 

Moët Hennessy tapped Dr. Bill Lumsden, one of the world’s most awarded and highly regarded Master Distillers for his work on Scotch whisky brands Glenmorangie and Ardbeg, to lead on whisky creation. 

Lumsden selected the brand’s bespoke mash bill — one of the rarest new offerings in the world of American whisky composed of 51% rye and 49% malted barley — to serve as the backbone of the liquid. Lumsden then combined traditional whisky-making techniques to impart an elegant mouthfeel and texture reminiscent of Japanese and Scotch whiskies, while retaining the robust and deep flavors typical of classic American rye. 

“With SirDavis, we looked to challenge the category norms and offer something new in the space,” said Lumsden. “The distinctive grain selection and unusual secondary maturation in sherry casks helped us achieve a signature profile completely unique to SirDavis, one of bold sophistication.”

Moët Hennessy and Knowles-Carter’s shared commitment to excellence was key to the partnership and the product. To validate SirDavis’s quality, the liquid was anonymously submitted to numerous prestigious spirits competitions prior to launch. SirDavis won Best In Class for American Whiskey from the 2023 SIP Awards, outperforming over 100 other entries in the category. Awarded to only one brand per category, this award is reserved for premium spirits receiving scores in the pinnacle of their respective categories and is SIP’s highest acclaim from consumer judges.

Other notable scores include a Gold Medal (95 points) from the 2023 New York International Spirits Competition and a 93-point rating from the 2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

Knowles-Carter also lent her visionary artistic direction to the brand’s bottle design – a tall, eye-catching bottle with intentional design elements that make the vessel an unmistakable beacon of luxury.

The SirDavis bottle is striking and clean, with ribbed glass that beautifully catches light and highlights the liquid. It also features a black medallion with a regal bronzed horse, emblematic of strength and respect and symbolizing Knowles-Carter’s Texas roots.

In another nod to Knowles-Carter’s Southern heritage, the whisky is finished, blended and bottled in her home state of Texas. Unlike other acquired brands, SirDavis also makes history as Moët Hennessy’s first spirits brand developed entirely internally by Moët Hennessy in the United States. SirDavis is headquartered out of Houston, Texas. 

SirDavis retails for $89 and is available for pre-order via SirDavis.com. Product will be available at retail across the U.S. as well as in select airports (LAX/JFK/SFO) and stores in London, Paris, and Tokyo in September 2024. 

ABOUT SIRDAVIS AMERICAN WHISKY

A first-of-its-kind joint venture, SirDavis reflects a shared vision between Moët Hennessy and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter around the future of American whisky. With a distinctive taste profile that delights both seasoned whisky connoisseurs and new enthusiasts, SirDavis is on a mission to redefine the category and invite new consumers to feel welcome to participate in the world of luxury whisky. 

Crafted with Moet Hennessy’s own five-time International Whisky Competition Master Distiller of the Year Dr. Bill Lumsden, SirDavis offers a one-of-a-kind taste profile that redefines the taste of American whisky with inspiration from Japanese and Scottish styles. In an evolution from category norms, the SirDavis mash bill includes 51% rye and a noteworthy 49% barley. The spirit’s secondary maturation in sherry casks resulted in its silky, sophisticated profile with layers of dark red fruits and spices like clove and cinnamon. This duality of rounding out rye’s characteristically spicy notes with structured flavors of juicy red fruit offers an entirely new interpretation of this spirit, suitable for connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The award-winning liquid received Platinum and was named Best In Class by the 2023 SIP Awards, 95 points and Gold from the 2023 New York International Spirits Competition, and 93 points from the 2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. SirDavis is finished, blended and bottled in Knowles-Carter’s home state of Texas.
