Jalapeńo flavored sunflower seeds soaked in genuine Jim Beam Whiskey.

I had seen these earlier in regular salted style but was holding off for a flavored bag. Lucky for me the local 7-11 convenience store had a small bag. I have feared I would come across the weird flavored seeds only in large bags forcing me to throw away large quantities. In this case though I was lucky.

I was quite surprised to find these seeds were very good. I expected them to be overly whiskey flavored with a jarringly hot jalapeńo burn. Why wouldn't they, surely whiskey and pepper is a manly sort of flavor so why would they be for anybody but the macho.

I reluctantly popped the first fist full into my mouth and winced only to find them neither whiskey tasting nor burning hot. In fact the overwhelming first impression was that they were overly pickle flavored. After the initial sour sting of pickle was gone a rather pleasant jalapeńo flavor came through. The flavor ran completely through to the seed which were very fresh and crunchy. I found no rotten seeds in the bunch and the bag did not contain a single stick, stem or other foreign, non-seed object.

My only regret is I did not find a bigger bag of these pleasant treats. I will definitely add these to the buy again list and look forward to trying other flavors of the Jim Beam soaked seed family.
