The subtle velvety notes of apricot and caramel finished with the burning essence of spice-peppered aged oak

 
 
Carve me out  
raw and hollow  
splay open hidden crevices  
exposing  
a sweetened well kept rage  
   
Tastebuds flux, tingling  
instant endorphin rush  
a rippling soft crush  
slow pours... over open wounds  
 
indistinguishable hushed-howls  
 painful 'lil pleasures  
bold heated ecstasy  
   slow sips  
 gingerly savored  
 
Twisted aromatics—  
time strengthened tenacity  
aged perfectly,  
warm lips in spiced caress  
 
A scintilla of sticky mouthfeel  
gently sashays tongue swept sensation  
rallying gumption  
-stars haze to burnt-orange glaze-  
 
Mysteries unfold  
as legs and shoulders  
release harbored up old  
 
"On the rocks, please,"...  
 
... flows free the bourbon gold.

Author's Note
Every now and then, only the delicious burn will do! Last night's mini sunset celebration on the porch, cheers-ing to poem #400! *tink* 🥃

Purists would look down on the order of 'on the rocks', but I really like the punch of initial flavor and then deeply enjoy the mellowing the ice cubes give it.

On hand, in the very infrequently used liquor cabinet— Buffalo Trace and Maker's Mark. Woodford Reserve is my special occasion go to ... but I like exploring new flavors/distilleries, too.
