campfire whisky

fire light through
Glencairn glass
amber whisky swirls
intense smoky peat
figs, dates, vanilla,
a touch of sea air
   wafting 
in the evening breeze

  1. Sweet. The same could be said for good beer, which I love to drink from a glass so I can see the amber colors.

  5. I think it must taste better by a campfire. I smelled woodsmoke in the air for the first time this fall yesterday and was whiffing the air like a dog, it was so delightful to smell it again.

  9. The scents, the colors, the ambience paints a serene, deep moment.

  10. I enjoy drinking from a glass so that I can watch the movement of a paint mixed drink. Of course I also drink from a straw, not the nasty glass itself.

  12. Brother Ollie,
    It's like being there and sipping from that same glass. Whisky is such a characterful drink. No wonder it calls atmosphere, scents and tastes into its description...slainte!

  13. Big fan of figs and dates. Eat one date a day good for the health. Just like reading one of your poems...Here's to campfires and fire light and the burning taste of whiskey at night
