A Wee Dram

Originally written for the WriteOn Weekend Write-In prompt themed "Macabre Menagerie" - 30 October to 1 November 2015. With no word limit, tell a story that includes at least three of these elements: Witchcraft, face paint, candy corn, ducks, a candle, a mirror, chanting, dread.

This is a simple imaginary tale of a single malt distillery, all of it based on fact and tradition. For self-challenge, I've stuck to the 500 words. Cheers...
