Bars deliberately DO NOT stock most cognacs because they will attract black clientele, and most bars don't want "that element". If you'll see any single one it's likely Hennessey, but that bottle is probably also as old as the bar is. The bar I'm currently working at has been open four months, and I've opened that Henny bottle exactly one time. It was for a black customer wearing stunner shades and a baseball cap with our area code printed on it, he asked for the price ($8), politely declined, so I poured him one neat for free just because it was a busy night and I knew it'd be months before I every touched that bottle again.
