SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- UniCask is a joint venture formed by Japan Import Systems, one of the largest spirits trading companies in Japan, announced today that they've signed a commercial collaboration with Taraxa to help build confidence in their spirits ownership tracking solution, scheduled to launch in spring of 2021.
