The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Unrest of Spirit

Spirits shook in a half empty tumbler’s unease

Trembling hands fumbled the spillage of disease

He lost his staggering soul quaking and marred

At the bar of destruction from finish to start



Stirred and shaken an olive branch fell into his fray

A guardian angel suspended increasing decay

Touched some remnant of reason and reinvented

Water from wine no more fragments fermented
