The Everleigh Bottling Co. will be in good company joining Proof & Company’s diverse portfolio of premium products including Plantation Rum, Never Never Distilling Co Gin, Sullivans Cove Whisky, Mancino Vermouth, Arquitecto Tequila and Widges Gin.

Inheriting the name, recipes and ethos from Made in the Shade’s flagship cocktail bar, The Everleigh, every cocktail is hand-made and bottled with the same spirits and distinctive attention to detail that landed the venue its reputation as one of the best bars in the world.
“We are excited about our new partnership with Proof & Company. It was very important for us to work with a partner who has a deep connection with the drinks and hospitality industry. We have long admired the work they have done with luxury brands and look forward to this new partnership coming to life,” says Michael and Zara Madrusan.
