Oct. 12: Drammers Indianapolis with Dave Schmier of Proof & Wood Ventures......

Hello Indy Drammers!

We have a fun announcement to share — on Wednesday, October 12th, we’re excited to welcome Dave Schmier, the founder of many great whiskey brands including Proof & Wood Ventures, Tumblin’ Dice, The Senator and (in a prior life) Redemption Rye. It is not an exaggeration that Dave was one of a very small handful of people to pioneer the resurgence of rye as a category in the United States, and we are very proud to call him both a fellow member of the club and a good friend. This will be our first chance to welcome him as a guest speaker. Jim and Mary Butler have generously agreed to host us (8203 Windhaven Circle, 46236). Dave has generously offered to bring a wide range of bottles, including The Senator, Roulette Rye, The Representative, Tumblin’ Dice, Good Day plus some rare bottles from his limited Curated Collection, including the very rare 2021 Seasons blended American whiskey bottling, and one of my personal favorites - Crossborder Jackpot. He’ll also bring a couple of the fun rum bottlings he’s created, including The Funk, and a limited rum bottling he calls “2/3” — aged in ex-Bourbon barrels in Jamaica for at least two years then aged for three years in Kentucky in ex-Rye barrels, for a truly unique flavor. We’re working on pulling together some fun rare bottles to add to the mix ourselves (more on that soon).

We hope you can join us.

Cheers,
Charlie, Sean and Drammers Club
