I have an Asian themed chess set in a chest. Each chess piece has “Hennessy” engraved on its base. Is this a promotional item distributed by your company? If so, I would appreciate knowing more about it. When was this available? How many were distributed? Is a particular product associated with the set?
Thank you for any information you may be able to share.

I am going to purchase a couple of bottles of Hennessy Black; it is my drink of choice. One bottle will be for the holiday and the other I will be drinking to celebrate our President Obama’s inauguration.
That seems to be a good idea. I hope they would have re-issued the Presidental Edition Bottle.

Unfortunately, Hennessy Pure White is not usually available in the United States. It is available in Europe.
