A Good Day Indeed at 21 Years and 104 Proof
Proof and Wood's 2022 Canadian release came from one of the great sourcing coups of the decade: whisky distilled in 2000 — a 97% corn mash bill — held for 21 years, then woken up with three weeks in ex-American rye barrels. The result scored 90 from Whisky Advocate, which found freshly cut grass and jasmine turning, with water, toward chocolate-covered cherries and dark-roast coffee.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Green spice with hints of honey and vanilla.
Palate: Obligingly rich — caramel, citrus, and dried fruit.
Finish: Rich and smooth, lengthy.
How to Enjoy
Neat first, then with a splash of water — reviewers found it opens dramatically. At 104 proof it handles a cube well; it also anchors a serious Canadian old fashioned.
