AA brethren what made Hennessy start popping?

[GodsPerspective]

I see that shyt heavy with y’all. Not gonna lie that shyt ain’t really nothing special. But I’m not an alcohol connoisseur or nothing. What do y’all like about it?

I was curious about this once back in the day. If you do your googles I believe you will find your answer and more details but from what I remember it all started in world war 2. Black folk that were in the military and stationed over in France started drinking cognac so hennesey started advertising in ebony and jet and the rest is history.

So they advertised to black folk specifically? I’m just surprised at the loyal following of a brand that isn’t black made. Almost to the point that Hennessys a stereotype amongst us.

Black people always been a fan of brown liquor, brandy and cognacs, dark rums and whiskey.

Hennessy in particular sought out black customers and placed ads in magazines. This was back in the day in like Jet. They got the jump on everyone else.

I can’t rock with it like I used to, and even when I did drink it, I really only did due to its status in the community, as it was the black man’s liquor.

It’s trash, and not smooth at all. I love a good cognac and a good brown liquor, but henny ain’t it for me no more
