Barrel Aged

Phil opened his mouth, stopped, and then wiped a hand over his face. “I don’t think I can finish the tasting.” Reynolds cocked his head to the side, brightly alert as a bird of prey. “Feeling ill?” “Yes.” The final glass was a richer amber than the others, so vibrant it could have held the place of honor in a pagan queen’s crown. “There’s only one left, and once poured, the liquor cannot be returned to the bottle. It is too precious not to be consumed.” Phil stared the taster down, wishing that either it or he would disappear and remove the choice from his plate. “I can’t,” he pleaded. “Don’t make me.” Harriford Distillery has a strange tasting process for their vendors, and a dark secret is hidden in their whiskey. “Barrel Aged” by Shenoa Carroll-Bradd first appeared in CHEW ON THIS!
