My most prized spirit

Post by Sailman »

Couple years ago I found out that my aunt was in the craft and made her own. Well last November early December we found out that she had stage four cancer and she soon passed. Before she died she made arrangements for me to receive this pint. This will always be one of my favorite spirit.

Treasure it Sailman, and go through this hobby in the knowledge that you are continuing in your family legacy on your aunt's behalf.

You're a lucky man indeed, Sailman. There's not too many fortunate enough to receive such a priceless gift and know exactly what it is and what went into making it. At first thought you might consider keeping it for all time, but then again, born of her heart and hands, I bet your aunt would have wanted you to drink it.
