Bowmore Tokenized Whisky on Avalanche — Novel Collectible, Watch Liquidity

I note that Bowmore plans to issue a tokenized whisky on the Avalanche chain, priced at $5,500. The move brings a traditional collectible into web3 via fractional ownership and blockchain provenance.

I see potential appeal for collectors and crypto-native investors seeking alternative assets, but the price implies a niche market: liquidity will likely be limited and secondary-market spreads could be wide. Smart-contract security, custody of the physical bottle, and reliable provenance tracking are critical to value retention.

I remain cautious: this is an experimental intersection of luxury goods and DeFi, useful for diversification for some but unsuitable as a core holding without clear marketplace depth and legal protections.
