When Hennessy first introduced Hennessy Black, it wasn’t made to follow tradition, it was crafted to move to the rhythm of the night. A bold reimagining of what Cognac could be, this expression was designed for those who live after dark, blending over 250 years of savoir-faire with modern flair. With its sleek black bottle and smoother, lighter character, it invites a new generation to explore Cognac, not just in quiet sips, but in bold cocktails, in music, and in movement.
