    At what age, would you recommend opening??
    I would go with fresh, because you don't want the cherry to fade.

    I'm just worrying that the cherries might fade.

    It's already fallen off. Just ship it to me. I'll get rid of it for you.

    IMO drink it fresh. What is the point of aging something if you havent had it fresh to compare?

    I say drink now. Unlike Bramble Rye which was very fruity at the beginning and has mellowed out nicely, the cherry is augmenting the bourbon perfectly and I don't see that improving with age.

    If you only have one bottle, then drink it now. What's the point of putting it away without even knowing what it tastes like?

    Sometimes, just an extra month can be beneficial. Doesn't have to be in years.
