The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Oak Tree

An Oak tree
Branches sway violently 
Leaves lose their place and descend at a frightening speed
Silently covering the ground I'm what appears to be death
Roots remain firmly underground
It's 500 year survival place
I'm no oak tree
I cannot survive this storm
