    Just to verify (as my local store emailed me that they are in), this is the new batch, correct? Not the re-release of the '11 batch that GI was storing?

    new batch. they posted a pic a few weeks ago of them making it. should have a "bottled on" date on the bottle.

    Right, I know it was coming out. I just heard January from a source a while back. Then GI started selling the '11 version from their vintage menu and said that batch may hit stores. So I'm still just waiting on someone to actually confirm the bottle date. At $9.99, I assume it is the new batch.
