HennESSEY on ICE: The Official PRESIDENTIAL Cocktail

Now, I have grown up knowing that the brown liquors will get YOU SICKER.....

I've also been told that the brown liquors were for the brown people.... Almost every black man I know walked around talked about CROWN ROYAL or Hennessey on ice....

Well the official Hennessey company has responded with a limited edition commemoration bottle for the 44th president of the United States......This does not seem POSH to me.

A liquor bottle to represent the first "arguably black" president? Should I be offended? I would be if I knew the CEO of Hennessey was an "arguably white" man.... Only 180,000 will be sold. I wonder how many will find their way to EBAY????

The maker of Hennessy Cognac, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, is using numerology rather than language in its promotion, priced at $30 each, bearing seals and labels on the front and back emblazoned with “44” and phrases like “In honor of the 44th president” and “In honor of the presidential inauguration.”

Supposedly proceeds go to the Thurgood Marshall Foundation

Here's the bottle

Tell us what you think........

No martini's on this one! Just bottles of cognac!
