Clear color. Aromas and flavors of toasted sunflower seeds, toasted lemon, French roast coffee, and chipotle Tobasco with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, complex, long finish that exhibits suggestions of roasted sunflower seeds, toasted cocoa nibs, anise, and chocolate covered orange peel. Fun and delicious flavors that lean into cocoa, smoked nuts, and seeds; such tasty, rich, and earthy notes that continually challenge and entice.
