A Whisky Adventure

From Cedar Ridge to Hunter's Glen
Down Rowan's Creek, round Pinckney Bend
Past Noah's Mill, along to Glenfiddich;
Many have been on that Copper Run
 
Since Early Times, seeing Eagle Rare
Watching the Old Crow and the Fighting Cock
Giving a wise nod to the White Owl and the Wild Turkey
Receiving a friendly wave from the Famous Grouse
 
Many a stranger becomes a friend - I can think of a few
Jack Daniel, Jim Beam, Johnnie Walker
And some adopted families too - 
Bells, O'Briens, O'Neills, Jamesons
 
Sailing Three Ships, even the Cutty Sark
In Liquid Sun, Northern Light and Moonshine.
Smelling Four Roses and applauding the Dancing Pines
Some dodged the Red Hook, found their Green Spot
 
Felt the power of Ben Nevis, Yellowstone and the White House
The confidence of Wall Street, 12 Volts and Ten High
Yet some did drown in the Sheep Dip with a Monkey Shoulder
As their 24 Carat, Pure Gold sadly ended in Writer's Tears.
 
Companions are important on these journeys, so
Choose the Red Stag, the Blue Bull, the Copper Fox
A Silver Coyote, a Black Horse
But avoid the Double Dog and The Black Dog, if you can
 
Barley, corn, wheat, rye
Single, blended, malt
Cask and Barrel
All in their own way unique.  Rich and Rare
 
Many choices, many flavours
Many experts, many preachers
It's 8pm - Time to travel and learn
So, I think I'll start with Teacher's
