The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Vodka and Redbull

Three hundred sixty minutes and 
sixteen shots later,
and my heart is still unraveling 
inside of my chest.

Four hundred eighty minutes 
and eight cans of Redbull later,
and my bloodshot eyes are 
begging for sleep.

Five hundred forty minutes and 
a bottle of vodka later,
I'm staring at trembling fingers and 
dying to hold you.

Six hundred minutes and 
half a pack of cigarettes later,
and I'm straining to remember 
your name.

And that's alright with me.
