“Too much of anything is bad, but too much whiskey is barely enough.” Mark twain
Aphrodite In A Glass Velvet tango, slow, slow, seductive, a voluptuary, warm, smooth, the heat of soothe, to be sipped with intention, rolled around the tongue, swallowed with care, strangely, it is masculine named or geographically placed, and yet in my experience, whiskey is more subtle, feminine and called Aphrodite.

I like the idea of whiskey as Aphrodite. With a slice of lemon and one ice cube.

I like the idea of whiskey rolled around the tongue, but I drink it straight down.

There has to be both male and female whisky … who can call Laphroaig female?

I like that description of how to enjoy the drink.
“to be sipped with intention,
rolled around the tongue,
swallowed with care,”
I feel like I’m doing that when I read the words…so descriptive!

Paul, love the quote and love your poem. I love the smell of single malt and whenever I take a sip, when my husband offers, it is truly “a voluptuary,
warm,
smooth,
the heat of soothe,”!
