It's good stuff and definitely ages well. I stocked up this time and still have a few tins left from last year's batch as well so I hope to be enjoying this red VA for many years to come. Not as good as McClelland (or the McClelland produced McCranie's) but then again neither is any other red VA I've tried. I am glad I was able to stock up on some McClelland/McCranie's but I'm trying to save my stash to enjoy on special occasions and find other reds that will fit the bill for a daily smoker.
