tastes way better ! I have had a jar going for several years. I know folks who have had a jar going for decades with bourbon . I started with beans I had forgotten about, they were in a glass jar with paper in the lid to keep them dry and stored in a dark cupboard...thus the reason I forgot them. I found them and immediately put them in a pint of bourbon. I have never replaced them and the vanilla is wonderful... I can't even remember how many years now but believe me when I say they will surprise you in a great way.
I am off to Hawaii in a couple weeks. I will have a rental on the same road as a vanilla plantation !! WOW>...guess what I am bringing home with me :)
and there was no issue with the aroma after thawing.

Have a great trip, C!
Processed bean pods have been fermented for many years and keep a very long time if kept in a jar. No need to use freezer space.
I read that beans stored in a jar have to be aired regularly. If it requires extra work, then it is NG to me
