The modern age of spirits demands attention to detail and a borderline obsession to authenticity. In a world where so many new drinks are coming to market, so many distilling methods being tried, and so many flavor combinations tested, it takes a mind (or two) that thinks far outside the box, far outside the norm of what’s normally considered reasonable, or even possible, to create something truly fresh and innovative. 

Todd Leopold and Steve Matthiasson are masters of their craft, true artists who fuel innovation in their space. When so much craftsmanship goes into a bottle like this, there’s no shortage of story to be told. And some stories are too big to fit on a label.

Now, the James Beard finalists have combined both their deep knowledge of spirit-making, as well as the prestige their brand names carry, to create a Wermut and write a story unlike anything that’s existed before. The combination of Leopold Bros.’ Three Chamber peach and pear brandies with Matthiasson’s Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, has spawned a unique and innovative aromatized wine. It’s what happens when you combine the love and care of two family businesses obsessed with excellence. The new Leopold Bros x Matthiasson Sweet Wermut. 

proof-it is proud to help tell that story of the new Leopold Bros x Matthiasson Sweet Wermut and put it, literally, in the hands of consumers. The duo are counterparts across the spirits and winemaking industry, but leaders in thought and pushing the frontier of what was previously thought possible in those worlds. The result of their brainpower is a strikingly fragrant and richly textured spirit-wine hybrid that is sure to leave a mark on tastebuds.
