The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Rum and Twenty Dollar Bills

Rum and twenty dollar bills, 
three parts giddy a quarter numb; 
Innate desire each one fulfills; 

Dazed rabbit diving down molehills
not at all curious about the outcome,  
rum and twenty dollar bills; 

Relishing everything the taste instills
keyed up and devouring every crumb,
innate desire each one fulfills;

In a flash sensibility sours and spills,
licking the rim erasing humdrum;
Rum and twenty dollar bills; 

Spiced butter and enchanted thrills 
with each drop madness can hum;
Innate desire each one fulfills; 

The sunrise sobers and chills,
moonlight fades throwing a tantrum;
Rum and twenty dollar bills,
innate desire each one fulfills.
