NYAK and
Trina kicked off the partnership with The Baddest Brunch in Miami on July 25, during Rolling Loud Weekend. The brunch also paid homage to the rapper's debut album, which was released 21 years ago.
NYAK is 80 proof with a distinctive, finely graded VS and delicate distilled flavor that is perfect over ice. Its golden color with hints of amber heralds its complexity. The nose offers up delicious toasty oak notes (Bourbon vanilla, toasted bread) that stand out against a delightful peppery gourmet base (pear, grape, light honey).
The brand's initial national rollout was expansive and included Florida, Texas, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, Delaware, Tennessee and Connecticut. The brand has now officially added Missouri, Illinois and Maryland to its growing list of territories. NYAK is also gearing up to launch the Celebrate Success Artist Series. This series will feature the most dynamic, talented, free-thinking musicians, singers and emcees. The series will include live performances, exclusive video content and original social media visuals.
Trina will begin appearing on behalf of NYAK Cognac across media platforms beginning this month. For more information, please visit: https://www.nyakcognac.com.
