Whisky Review: Proof And Wood: Good Day And Sunshine at 52% ABV — the question is whether it delivers on its promise. I sat down with a pour to find out.
Nose
The nose has a sparkling quality, engaging me immediately with the freshness of tropical citrus and leafy mint. Deeper into the scent, I can pick out notes of honey and sugar cane.
Finish
There is an initial fruity flavor of citrus and pineapple. Its carried on the darker sweetness of molasses and concentrated honey. Theres also a slight mint quality to the flavor, lightening up these darker tones. Between the citrus, mint, and sweetness, I get a bit of mojito in the overall flavor. The flavor of rum is strong in the finish, which leaves me with the tropical sweetness of pineapple.
The Bottom Line
Whisky Review: Proof And Wood: Good Day And Sunshine is a perfectly respectable whiskey that does what it sets out to do. — it will not blow your mind, but it will not disappoint you either. A reliable choice.
