For a 2016 Pappy 20 year, the serial code that they have in the image is B160760732M. Many of you have listed : in your codes for the time. This one appears to be missing the colan. I'm guessing this is a red flag that this is fake but wanted to make sure.

My question is it possible for a Pappy Van Winkle to have been from 2002-2006, but not have raised lettering? <br /><br />I ask because I know someone in a possession of a 20 year old bottle that actually is taller and the top opening does not have ridging. We e-mailed a man that has written books about Pappy & he says not to worry about it because during the early 2000s, they would use whatever bottles they had. (we actually found someone else who had a bottle similar as well on Facebook). My point is, you would question its authenticity if you just saw it because it appears to be an odd ball. <br /><br />So, we are in possession of 3 bottles (not all tall), but they do not have raised lettering or bar codes. My father bought these I know pre-2010 (I do not know exact years), but it was when he could still find Pappy on the shelves in stores. He just quit buying because he refused to pay when it went up in price, compared to what he had been previously paying, & he switched to Weller 12 year (haha also when you could buy CASES & find it in stores). So, I am saying I know my father did not use windex on the bar codes (& he did not buy them from a third party...he bought them from the liquor store), & it seems crazy all the bar codes would have rubbed off all the bottles. However, the label lacks the raised lettering. Is it possible the raised lettering was not on all the 2002-2006 era 20 year Pappy Van Winkle?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-16000861111437706092016-12-10T21:29:24.561-08:002016-12-10T21:29:24.561-08:00When you don't see a laser code there are thre...When you don't see a laser code there are three options: (1) the bottle is from before 2007, when they started using the code; (2) you haven't found the code - they can be hard to see and sometimes hide under the back label; (3) someone scrubbed the code - a little Windex is all it takes.skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-66424275602468065412016-12-10T14:46:28.794-08:002016-12-10T14:46:28.794-08:00I have a Van Winkle Special Reserve 12yr Lot B.
