|
|
I have a bottle of Balvenie 30yo and am trying to work out when it was bottled.
I have established (I think) some clues from a previous thread regarding 12yo bottling codes.
The code is L340 4945 2811 08:58:37
I belive it was bottled at 8:58 am on the 28th of November but I've no idea which year.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance. |

Recall someone else asking on here, from my insight, there should be a letter after L.
Starting with L
The next letter in the code is the bottling year.
B was used in 1992. Following letter is the following year to Z in 2015. Letter O is not used.
And restarts on A in 2016
The code also tells the filling date and time in later numbering.
The time is HR:MM:SS in the end detail.
The preceding 4 numbers to the time is the date and month 3112 would be 31 December |

On closer inspection it looks like L34Q, which would make it 2006.
Many thanks. |
