Celebrate National Cognac Day With D'USSÉ

June 4th is National Cognac Day, and what’s a better way to end the week than with a little cognac. Holidays are all about upholding traditions and making new ones, so if you haven’t celebrated National Cognac before, this is the year to start – after all, the French spirit saw unprecedented growth last year, up a whopping 62% in sales by the end of 2020. The category is quickly shedding its reputation as an “old world” nightcap of choice and gaining popularity with both classic and creative cocktail drinkers.

Leading the charge is D'USSÉ, which saw a 109% increase in sales last year, making it the fastest growing modern cognac brand. For years, cognac was relegated to neat serves or traditional cocktails, but today’s drinkers are finding that its warmth and depth of flavor is ideal for a variety of different palates. With a complex, layered tasting profile coupled with modern sensibilities, D’USSÉ appeals to both longtime cognac connoisseurs and the newest generation of inquisitive imbibers.

After a year of enduring the great indoors, let’s relish in summer days outside with friends and toast to National Cognac Day with these D'USSÉ cocktail recipes:

The whiskey isn’t just inspired by the iconic band’s music, it is literally shaped by it. The team behind BLACKENED has taken the concept of sonic-enhancement and turned it into BLACK NOISE™, a patent-pending process that pummels Metallica’s own music to shape and envelop the flavor profile. To achieve this process, sound waves need to hit a particular frequency range to effect and intensify the molecular interaction. This - coincidentally - was the specific frequency that the majority of Metallica’s music was played in. Every batch of BLACKENED will come with an accompanying playlist curated by Metallica at. www.Blackenedwhiskey.com
