I have opened a number of them at the 3, 4 & 5 year periods and the differences are amazing, especially with Virginia and Va/Perique blends. McClelland 2015, after just 3 years, smells exactly like Chocolate Covered Cherries.
Well, I learned something else today it looks like.
I was under the impression that it needed air to age properly.

We process our own deer so I have access to a vacuum sealer. And I have a few ounces of McClelland Red Cake that would be ideal to get started with.
