Proof and Wood Ventures
About
Proof and Wood Ventures is a spirits sourcing, blending, and brand development company founded by Dave Schmier, a longtime veteran of the American whiskey industry. The company specializes in sourcing aged whiskey stocks from distilleries across the United States and beyond, then blending and bottling them for both its own brands and for white label and private label clients. Schmier's deep relationships throughout the whiskey industry give Proof and Wood access to diverse aged inventory that would be difficult for individual brands to locate independently.
Proof and Wood's services for white label clients include whiskey sourcing consultation, barrel selection, custom blending, proof adjustment, bottling, and packaging. The company can help clients develop complete whiskey products from concept through finished goods, drawing on aged stocks of bourbon, rye, wheat whiskey, and other American whiskey styles. Their approach is particularly valuable for brands that want to launch with aged, mature whiskey products without the years-long wait for distillation and aging. Proof and Wood also operates its own portfolio of brands including The Senator, Deadwood, and Tumblin' Dice, demonstrating their blending and brand-building expertise. The company represents a specialized niche in the white label whiskey ecosystem focused on sourcing and blending rather than distillation.
