Ep. 4: Dave Schmier, Proof and Wood Ventures

Episode 4! We’re on a roll. This episode, I talk with Dave Schmier of Proof and Wood Ventures.

Proof and Wood is an unabashed non-distilling producer. Dave is transparent that most of his stock is from MGP (with a few exceptions like The Justice), and beyond that he’s transparent about as much as possible in his products. Mashbills, ages, sources, chances are you can find the info on the website or in an interview with Dave.

Since starting Proof and Wood in 2015 and after selling the Redemption brand, Dave has consistently added to Proof and Wood’s portfolio. Covering bourbon, rye, special releases like the DC series, one-offs like The Stranger Polish Rye, Vertigo, and 100 Seasons whiskey are all right in Dave’s wheelhouse…put simply, the man knows how to spot a good chance and take it. Same goes for The Funk Jamaican Rum and finishing it in rye casks.
