Arc-net ensures traceability of new Australian whisky

The drink is a fusion of Scotch from Glen Garioch and Glen Grant distilleries and a five-year-old Australian whisky created by Fusion Whisky and Adelphi. It is called The Brisbane in honour of the Scot who founded the Australian city.

The arc-net system is a cloud based data analytics and supply chain security platform.

Kieran Kelly, founder of arc-net, said it is the first company to use Blockchain technology with a whisky.

“Our aim is to establish the global standard in product and supply-chain transparency, authentication and security, providing the consumer with 100% traceability, provenance and product authenticity.​

“The arc-net platform offers both brand and product protection and provides brands with a voice on the global stage.”​

Fusion Whisky said it has followed Adelphi’s use of Blockchain technology to demonstrate The Brisbane’s provenance and production history.

The firm partnered with Adelphi Distillery to produce a series of international blends using Scotch and world whisky, launching The Glover in 2015 and then The E&K and The Winter Queen.

Arc-net previously said it would mark and authenticate each bottle of Adelphi’s Ardnamurchan Distillery 2017AD limited release set for 2021.
