BlockBar will launch the 500 limited-edition Hennessy Paradis Golden Edition 70cl bottles on September 23. The NFT drop opens at 07:30 PM, first come, first served.
Each NFT costs 1.96 ETH, around $2,500, and can be bought using ETH or a credit card. The first customers to reserve the bottle will have 10 minutes to check out starting at 7:30 PM.
These collector golden decanters contain Hennessy Paradis, a gold-tinged cognac, a harmonious blend produced with the maison’s best and most valuable Eaux-de-vie, and an original NFT golden hour-inspired artwork by LA-based stylist and jewelry designer Veneda Carter.
The exceptional 3D animated NFT artwork features an exotic desert landscape and the Hennessy decanter drenched in golden light. Veneda Carter described her artwork as “a bounty of Nature polished by human hands.”
The physical decanter is stored with BlockBar until the bottle owner is ready to redeem, and users who successfully check out will receive an NFT that represents ownership of the physical bottle.
The Hennessy Paradis Golden Edition is expected to be the ideal NFT present as BlockBar’s gifting service allows you to send this rare golden without having to bother with shipping and logistics; all that is required is the giftee’s email address.
When you buy the Hennessy Paradis Golden Edition NFT, BlockBar will safeguard the physical bottle and store a record of authenticity on the blockchain.
