The batch date code is encoded on or near the bottom or side edge of the label or on the bottom of the bottle. The initial 6 digits are the batch number from that product lot to help us identify which batch your particular bottle originated from. Following is the Best By date, which is the recommended date for consumption of the product. The last 4 digit alphanumerical code indicates the date of manufacture. The first number is representative of the year it was poured (8 represents 2018). The letter represents the day of the week the product was poured (Monday = M, Tuesday = U, Wednesday = W, Thursday = R, Friday = F, Saturday = A, Sunday = N). The last two numbers represent the numerical week of the year the product was poured (14 = 14th week of the year).
Example: A product with the batch number 412382 and date code 7R14, was poured on Thursday, April 6, 2017.
