Wow, I love dried cherries, and the scent here is 100% dried cherry, so I was pretty excited to give it a try. As usual, the main flavor is the toasted rice. I got a bit of cherry at the end of the sip. It was fun because it was authentic tasting dried cherry flavor instead of the really artificial tasting flavoring you see so often. I never tasted any almond, and I did think the flavors should be pumped up more because the toasted rice really took over.
