The People Who Turn Famous Names Into Whiskey You Can Actually Buy
SIP built the machine that takes a rare barrel and a famous name and puts a bottle on the shelf. Bob Dylan whiskey, Playboy cognac, a $100 million inventory - all run out of a Chicago office and a Memphis bottling line.
Proximo Spirits
Proximo Spirits is only 19 years old, but it carries a 268-year inheritance. Its real product is the system that turns agave fields, old stills and sharply drawn brands into bottles people can find almost anywhere.
BAXUS
BAXUS is a New York-based peer-to-peer marketplace for fine and rare wines and spirits, built on the Solana blockchain. It authenticates physical bottles, stores them in climate-controlled vaults, and issues digital tokens representing direct ownership - giving collectors and institutions real-time pricing, instant trade settlement, and the ability to use bottles as loan collateral. The platform has facilitated over $20 million in whiskey trades and raised a $5M seed round led by Multicoin Capital in 2024.
