Maybe we knew the year already but if so I hadn't caught it until last night.

No, it is still 2003.
The 2001 thing is what I thought originally, but I learned some things browsing BCS Reddit this morning.
The whiskey was aged 35 years (in the barrel, not bottling, you stop counting when it is bottled). So, it would have been bottled in 2001, but that does not mean it is 2001. Howard was just saving it for a special occasion.
Also, the car Jimmy rode off in has tags from April 2003.
Court hearing had a sign from 2003.
In BB, Hank stated Tuco stabbed someone in 2003. That was in BCS last night.
Also, someone pointed out the columbia shuttle thing from 2003 was in the word search game from another episode.
