Arthur Shmidt

Arthur Shmidt founded Shmidt Spirits as a way of pursuing his great passion for fine liquor. It also serves as the first step on a path that he hopes will allow him to achieve a personal dream - to be able to use a plot of family land in Mexico to cultivate agave that will be made into a luxury tequila named in honor of his grandmother.

“Whiskey - more than anything else - has always been there for me.”
