Welcome to the High Proof Society.™
An access based NFT project for the booze community.
The High Proof Society is an NFT-enabled community with a common interest: good booze. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, High Proof Society NFTs provide holders with access to events, experiences, rare & allocated whiskey, and more.
What do holders get access to?
Real community.
As a holder, you are invited to join the rest of the High Proof Society to attend private events such as our Sporting Clays shoot & our Pappy Van Winkle flight dinner. Each NFT that you hold represents one spot at each event.
Rare bottles.
Each week, 10 rare bottles will be made available to purchase by High Proof Society holders. 10 holders are randomly selected and airdropped (sent) a token that gives them access to purchase the corresponding bottle. Tokens are valid for 30 days beginning on the airdropped date. These tokens may be sold, with their rights in tact, on any NFT marketplace that accepts ERC-1155 tokens. See the bottles for each week ahead of time on our Instagram. (Weeks 1 & 2 are already up!)

Common Questions:
How many High Proof Society NFTs are there?
In the inaugural collection, there are exactly 100 High Proof Society tokens. As a High Proof Society holder, much of what you gain access to are in person events. While many NFT communities are extremely large (thousands of tokens and holders) we are starting smaller and more intentionally to provide extremely high quality experiences and regular access to rare bottles.
How long does my High Proof Society NFT last?
As a collectible, your High Proof Society tokens last forever. The additional underlying benefits of the High Proof Society access NFTs expire December 31, 2023. (~23 months of total access)
Are all NFTs the same?
There are 3 levels of rarity but all NFTs include equal event and rare bottle access.
Where will the NFTs be sold?
Initial sales of High Proof Society NFTs will be on OpenSea.io. but High Proof Society tokens can be placed on other marketplaces like Rarible etc. for resale purchase. High Proof Society NFTs will adhere to the ERC-1155 standard.
Can I purchase an NFT with my credit card?
No. In order to purchase a High Proof Society NFT you will have to have a digital wallet with ETH currency.
Can I resell my High Proof Society NFT?
Yes! Membership NFTs and weekly airdropped bottle access tokens may be sold on any marketplace that supports ERC-1155 NFTs. When High Proof Society tokens are sold, there is a 10% royalty collected.
How do I purchase a High Proof Society NFT?
In order to purchase a High Proof Society NFT, you will need to complete two important steps. First, you will need to purchase ETH from a crypto-currency exchange such as Coinbase, Gemini, or Binance. Once you have completed that step, you will need to transfer your ETH into a non-custodial digital wallet like MetaMask, Portis or WalletConnect compatible wallets. These wallets connect to Opensea and allow you to purchase an NFT. For your reference, here are blog posts outlining in detail how to set up a crypto wallet, as well as the basic steps to take to send ETH to your wallet.
What Blockchain are these NFTs minted on?
NFTs are minted on ERC-1155 compliant contracts deployed to the Ethereum blockchain. ERC-1155 requires significantly less “gas” to complete a transaction than other standards and it still has the great utility of being on the Ethereum blockchain.
Will all 100 NFTs be released on January 29th?
No, High Proof Society NFTs will be released in two batches. 50 of them will be released on January 29th and 50 of them will be released on February 5th on Opensea.io
Can I buy more than one NFT?
Yes! The number of NFTs you own = number of spots at events & number of spots each week for rare bottle access.
