The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Like Rising Smoke




Have you ever seen dust 
splash like rising smoke? 
One day you’ll be walking 
in the long dry of summer, 
and sit in the shade of a 
lone tree on the track, 
the first heavy drops of an 
August shower will fall 
around the feet you nurse; 
and you’ll see dust splash 
like rising smoke.
