After not having any of this blend for a couple of years, I decided to get a few tins. One I was going to bake, and the others I'll cellar. I've included a photo of the back label to see if any of the numbers there are a code for dating the tins. Anyone have any ideas?
By the way the label says that the blend provides a mellow and cool "smike"! No proof reading of such a small label? :rofl:

I believe it was tinned in 2017 according to the first two digits of that larger number on the right hand side.
As far as I know, STG dates that way as my Escudo tins are the same. Someone please correct me if I am wrong!

Here is some proof to go along with my memory which is occasionally unreliable!

Glad to be of some help! And thanks for the kind words...
Sorry gentlemen, I thought I had responded to this earlier.
I just picked up a tin of Erinmore myself. I hope it is as enjoyable as I remember!
