Proof Before Purchase

🔐 Peace of Mind, Proven: If CannyCask ever ceased operations, you’d still retain direct, verifiable ownership of your cask — stored at a regulated HMRC warehousekeeper and reflected 1:1 on the blockchain. You are not dependent on our platform for your rights to remain valid, visible, and enforceable.

🔍 Immutable Verification: All cask data — from warehouse custody to identity — is confirmed by a licensed warehousekeeper and locked on-chain. Once verified, listings are sealed by smart contract and backed by institutional-grade custody.
🛡 Quality Assurance Logo: Our QA badge guarantees each cask has passed four checks: physical custody, regulatory status, digital signature, and blockchain counter-signing using multi-sig. The badge is embedded in the NFT transaction history.
How We Verify:
  • Warehousekeeper Sign-Off: Confirms custody, prevents double-selling, and assures provenance.
  • Smart Contract Locks: Multi-sig approval and QA logo recorded in each cask’s transaction metadata.
  • Live Cask Metadata: View real-time details — fill date, distillery, cask type, ABV, NFT ID and more.

Secure. Transparent. Borderless.

CannyCask combines blockchain technology, licensed HMRC custodians, and digital ownership to unlock a regulated marketplace for verified whisky casks.
