By: Proof and Wood "Cynically, I know all awards have an element of subjectivity, they also cost money to enter. Proof and Wood tries to run lean and put the savings in the bottle. That said, we do enter a limited amount of select awards contests to keep some buzz alive in the marketplace. We entered the World Whiskey Awards run by Whisky Magazine and are blown away with the results." - Dave Schmier AWARDS World Whiskies Award 2022 BEST AMERICAN RYE The Senator Rye Whiskey World Whiskies Award 2022 BLENDED LIMITED RELEASE Silver Medal Proof and Wood – VERTIGO Icons of Whisky America INDEPENDENT BOTTLER OF THE YEAR Proof and Wood Ventures, Inc World Whiskies Award 2021* WORLD'S BEST SINGLE BARREL BOURBON Tumblin' Dice Single Barrel, Barrel Proof * They haven't announced 2022 winners, so we're still claiming this title ;) THE SENATOR " A nose full of jam, then menthol rye spice.

At Proof & Wood Ventures, Inc., we invest in and develop spirits brands, and age our own spirits. Our core business is sourcing and bottling fine American whiskies, but we 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. "Our name comes from the two things we control 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," Schmier says. "That is who we are." End
