On Thursday, March 11, 2010, Hennessy, the #1 selling cognac in the world held the NJ launch of its newest blend, Hennessy Black at the Abyss Nightclub in South Amboy, NJ. This is the first major new launch for the House of Hennessy since Hennessy V.S. was introduced in 1961. The newest member to the Hennessy family was released in select U.S. cities in 2009, and will become available nationwide in June 2010. It’s a smoother blend, not as strong as the classic, perfect for mixing in cocktails or if you’re a true Hennessy lover, straight up with no chaser.
