I work in a liquor store. We keep Hennessy behind the counter after too many people stole it. There's nothing good about it. It comes in extremely cheap cardboard. We have pallets of it and the boxes fall apart in your hands. When i've tried it it is extremely mediocre. I have so many white people buying the cheapest of bourbon and vodka, yet black people blow loads of money on Hennessy. Good for them if they can afford it I guess? I don't judge people. I work at a liquor store, I don't get that privilege. I just recommend them cheaper and better armagnac if they want help selecting their beverage.

That and patron silver. I don't get it. We don't keep grey goose behind the counter even though there was a group of three that was running out with cases of it. They pepper sprayed a poor girl who tried to block their path the last time. She still wanted to work out the day. I'm under no NDA and that shit was fucked. Yet we keep Hennessy, patron silver, and Remy behind the counter.

We have specials of 8 bucks off grey goose often. Maybe thats why.

Which cognac/armagnac's do you suggest as an alternative to Hennessy?
Cheaper, equal,, and higher price range alternatives would be appreciated.

>> No.12409409

>>12409394
Honestly? Take your pick. https://www.binnys.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=armagnac

Find something in your price range and you'll immediately have something better than cognac. It used to be even better just 5 years ago when the fact that armagnac is a better deal than cognac was a secret. Still it's a better deal.

Major secret, quality rum is the best deal of all if you're into the flavor.

Hennessey, and Courvoisier for that matter, may be embraced by blacks and the hip hop community,
But to be fair, it’s far better tasting than really cheap brandy or Cognac.

Yes back in le right decade men were men and cognac was for us. Now the blacks have ruined it just as they ruined chicken and also three piece suits which you can't wear anymore because it makes you a bigot. I for one only drink drain cleaner and dish soap. No black has ever bragged about that, as far as I know. My entire life is based around doing the opposite of what the blacks do, I am a superior white man and we invented science and sheeeeit.

Its just a lazy option for the non-thinking man. Picrel is <$30, made by a reputable Cognac house, better tasting than the Henny XO imo.
Saying something tastes better than bumjuice is like saying your sister is cute for being morbidly obese.

WWI, WWII, and Ebony/Jet Magazine exposed the black consumer to cognac. Hip hop just cast a spotlight on their preferences/perceptions of luxury and wealth. They don't really care about whiskey, except for wicked expensive ones or memes like Buchanan's 12 and Crown Royal.

I work in liquor as well and can also confirm this. Hennessy and Courvoisier are on permanent lock-up at stores now because niggers keep stealing them to either re-sell for drugs or just because they can.
The brands themselves suck for the money though, there’s much better Armagnac for the price out there and for cognac it’s a lot better to look around for a good $200 bottle that’s old at cask strength from an independent bottler as most crap like Martell Cordon Bleu is young hot trash where most of the money is spent on marketing instead of on what’s in the bottle.

I used to work at a Total Wine and like clockwork every Friday we'd have lines of black people buying Hennessy, Seagrams gin and Taylor port. And yeah the Hennessy was always locked up. I'm convinced most of them don't actually like it, it's just a status thing to show up somewhere with a bottle of "henny"

I have a coworker who grew up in a black area, although he is not black he follows their cultural norms. I can confirm he pours cognac and good whisky into coca cola. When he wants to celebrate at a bar he'll order a more expensive brand of the same thing, in coca cola.

Whenever you hear people say "nice things are a scam it all tastes the same expensive wine is the same as cheap wine" and posts an infographic that "proves" that two buck chuck is the best wine, it's these kinds of people.
