Distillery of Modern Art

Distillery of Modern Art (DoMA) is a craft spirits producer that blends artisanal distilling with a deep appreciation for visual art and creative expression. Founded by Seth Watson and Matt Greif, who serve as Founder and Head Distiller respectively, the company operates with a distinctive philosophy they call 'the Art of the Spirit' — a commitment to producing exceptional craft spirits while celebrating artistic individuality and community connection. Each bottle produced by DoMA features a unique print behind the label, making every release a collectible art piece as much as a premium beverage. The company distills a focused portfolio of craft spirits that includes amaro, gin, vodka, and whiskey, each crafted with careful attention to ingredient sourcing and flavor development. Their Bourbon Whiskey is aged in new, white American oak barrels, presenting at 100 proof (50% ABV) with a mash bill composed of 67% corn, 21% rye, and 12% barley. The bourbon delivers aromatic notes of candied dark fruit and spearmint, with vanilla and caramel on the palate and a medium dry finish. Their Nouveau Gin is built on a 100% French wheat base and incorporates nearly a dozen botanicals, herbs, spices, and fruits — including coriander, juniper, orris root, angelica root, lemon and orange peel, cassia cinnamon, szechuan peppercorn, and chamomile — coming in at 92 proof (46% ABV). DoMA operates a tasting room called the Kandinsky Tasting Room, named in homage to the abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky, which is open on weekends for visitors to sample and purchase spirits directly. The distillery targets craft spirit enthusiasts, art lovers, and consumers seeking premium, small-batch products with a strong sense of identity and story. Their packaging strategy — with unique artwork behind each label — differentiates the brand in the competitive craft spirits market by merging fine art with fine spirits. DoMA positions itself as a destination brand, encouraging community gathering and self-expression through both its products and its physical tasting room experience.
