Proof & Wood

Proof & Wood Ventures invests in and develops spirits brands, and age their own spirits. The company's core business is sourcing and bottling fine American whiskies, but they also import other high-quality spirits from around the world that were not available in the US previously.

Founder Dave Schmier is delighted to be able to create both cocktail-friendly bottlings for value-focused bartenders and high-end collectors’ editions for connoisseurs.

The name "Proof and Wood" comes from the two things that can be controled as a blender and finisher of fine spirits, and the two things that are incredibly important to any spirit’s flavor: the proof it’s bottled at, and the wood of the barrel we age it in.
