The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Honey Bun That Wasn'T

I saw it, I touched it, I bought it
It looked like it, smelled like it, felt like it
But ooh! when I tasted it,
Something was missing.
Was it spice? Was it sugar?
Aahh, I got it!
The molasses, where was the molasses?
I think it's for the next batch.

Robert's Grove.)
