721 Vodka is a super-premium vodka by Degen Distillery and its Degeneration community, and it's a first-of-its-kind Web3 vodka that's changing the way products in the alcohol industry are created and distributed. The vodka gets its name from ERC-721, the technical framework for managing non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.
This co-created vodka is filtered once for a smooth, warm taste with a hint of spice and a long, sweet finish. As Sammy Verghese, co-founder and CEO of Degen Distillery, says, "We are co-creating and leading something unprecedented in any industry–revolutionizing the traditional DTC model. We’ll be direct to community, changing the roles of ‘consumers’ to ‘co-creators.'"
721 Vodka launched at Three Friday Nights series and will debut in the UK before launching in Europe and the United States in 2024.
