The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Sipping coffee

"This Satan's drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it. We shall cheat Satan by baptizing it"-unknown 16th century

I am baptized every morning 
by this rich dark delicacy 
the first sip is energizing 
a wake up into life 
jolting me from the imprisonment of sleep 
which has bound me for many hours 
the next sip is to breathe in 
the aroma of its freshness 
invigorating and relaxing at the same time 
how can this be -
a cup of darkness 
has so much power
