Is there an easy way to identify the year/batch you have? Mine says 1SF but I see no other marking...?

Anchor: Uses a complex coded three-character bottling date. The first number is the last digit of the year. The next letter is the month and the last character is the day. The months are coded: J = Jan, F = Feb, M = Mar, A = Apr, Y = May, U = Jun L = Jul, G = Aug, S = Sep, O = Oct, N = Nov, D = Dec. The days 1-26 are coded A-Z while days 27-31 are coded with the last digit of the day. Thus 8JT was bottled on January 20, 2008.  For Canada: A best before date is on the label. Ex.: 7-2013. Date is 2 years from bottling.

Thanks - bought this is the US so no best before date - guess its a 2011 bottle then.

I’m told it holds up to aging quite well. I wouldn’t think 5-10 years would be bad on it. I personally have never had the self control to go past 2 years. One of my favorites. Cheers!
