UniCask Co Ltd, a Japan based world-first minter of fractionalized whisky NFT sold its third batch of CASK NFTs in collaboration with “Polygon Studios"

CHIYODA-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN, April 27, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- UniCask released its third batch of whisky NFTs, linked to a cask of single malt Japanese whisky 2022 vintage distilled in Hanyu Distillery. The CASK NFTs went on sale to the public at noon on 20th April 2022 and sold out in just 45 minutes.

< About the cask linked to the third CASK NFT sale >
UniCask’s third cask linked to CASK NFTs is a single malt Japanese whisky distilled at the Hanyu distillery in 2022. Hanyu distillery started distilling whisky in 1980 and was forced to close in 2000, however their whisky became widely known in 2020 after it sold for a high price at an international auction. Thanks to the many fan requests for its revival, the distillery resumed distilling in 2021 and is now one of the most promising distilleries in the world.

The Hanyu 2022 cask was divided into 100 portions and 100 CASK NFTs corresponding to the 100 portions were sold. CASK NFT owners can use UniCask’s app to easily own, collect and trade the fractionalized whisky cask from anywhere in the world. After the cask is bottled, these bottles can be redeemed with CASK NFTs.

The Hanyu 2022 will be bottled in 2032 after 10 years of maturation[*1]. This means that anyone who buys and owns Hanyu's CASK NFT will be able to exchange their CASK NFT for a 10 year old single malt Japanese whisky after 10 years of aging.
