7 ' BALVENIE' haiku (senryu):

nosing and tasting

he smells honeyed sweetness

on the malting floor



the casks

are hand-bottled

with a chaser



nutty dryness

his smooth single malt

after the burial



oak casks

from various parts of the world

see you in my dreams



underpinned

by a honeyed character

her single malt



oaky notes

the taste of her kisses

flavour of whisky



the perfume

of fruity and ripe raisin

kiss me again
