Date Tasted:
Country: USA

Straw color. Herbal, nutty aromas of salted chocolate chip cookie dough, coconut water and melted butter, parchment paper and white flowers, and oregano and nutty with a round, moderately sweet medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long buttered caramel popcorn, milk chocolate and walnuts, roasted coconut and plantain, and baking spices finish. Sweet and nutty trail mix flavors here that make a fun dessert rum drink similar to an espresso martini.
