NYAK is a premium cognac brand redefining the everlasting tasting experience of a smooth, premium, yet affordable cognac. It was back in the early 2000s when the NYAK brand came into conception during a time when Cognac houses in France started to realize the consumption in the U.S. was drifting away from its tradition of being used as a digestive toward a more casual, fun-loving, and informal approach. Simultaneously, the African-American community was making monumental breakthroughs in pop culture which sparked a major influence for the NYAK brand. Many aspects of this shift in American culture can be attributed to the birth of the NYAK brand.
