Cream Becomes
Newest in Lineup for Tennessee's
Distributor of Choice
COLUMBIA, S.C., June 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PROOF Hard Ice Cream — Announces
the appointment of Lipman Brothers LLC, Tennessee's oldest distributor, liquor license
No. 1, to represent this innovation of smooth, creamy ice cream
with the satisfying warmth of five percent alcohol by volume (5%
ABV). Lipman Brothers was founded at
the repeal of Prohibition and was the first distributor of Jack
Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. The company is known to introduce
various products such as cigars, hemp-infused, and nonalcoholic
beverages. Lipman Brothers is
excited to be the first to market PROOF Hard Ice Cream as the
exclusive distributor in middle and east Tennessee.
"The opportunity to represent PROOF with its super-premium
quality and exceptional taste, along with its branding and
packaging, is the foundation for tremendous success," says
Robert Lipman, Chairman & CEO of
Lipman Brothers, LLC.
PROOF's Chief Commercial Officer, Rick
Gillis, echoes Lipman's enthusiasm. "We are thrilled and
honored to partner with Lipman
Brothers to be the very first wholesaler in Tennessee to launch PROOF Hard Ice Cream.
Nashville is an ideal market to
bring our exciting, intersectional indulgence to a city that
thrives on bringing people together to celebrate good times, music,
entertainment, and culinary experiences."
The first company to combine smooth, creamy, super-premium ice
cream with a sultry kick of 5% ABV, PROOF produces its ice cream in
small batches and freezes it at 20˚ below zero to ensure a
consistent texture and indulgent satisfaction in every bite. And,
thanks to Lipman Brothers, PROOF
Hard Ice Cream will be available in Tennessee in six unique, cocktail-inspired
flavors — Chocolate Cherry Manhattan, Chocolate Espresso Martini,
New York Cheesecake Martini, Strawberry Daiquiri Spritz, Sweet
Caramel Old Fashioned, and Tropical Piña Colada.
