Dating Escudo and Erinmore tins

[64alex]

I got yesterday at a B&M a 50% discount at an STG Escudo and an STG Erinmore square (not the most recent round) tin. However I don't see any date on the tins. Any idea if and how it can be found the production dates for these two tins?

And the best part is that using the coding system I now discovered the Escudo tin is of 3/2012, wow, I got 7 years of age on it

What about the Erinmore Flake? Aged Erinmore Flake is amazing!

Would the information contained in the link above apply to my tin of Alfred & Christian Petersen-made Escudo? If so, then it dates to May of 2008.

Erinmore is of 2015, so still the more recent STG production. It looks like the old Murray production is stronger both in the baccy and in the casing and probably would be the one the try aged.
