    I had a couple questions about Plead the 5th vintages. What was the first year they started doing 12oz bottles? What was the first year they put their logo on the caps?

    I have four bottles and I think it is a four year vertical because they are all different.

    2010 has the old white label
    2011 has the black label but with no logo cap
    2012 has the logo cap
    2013 has the logo cap, an ABV of 11% in the top right corner, and the font for the government warning is different than the 2012

    Anyone able to confirm this?

    I think the 2011 has the white label. At least, the bottles in my cellar that i thought were 2011 do. I just had one last week and it was fantastic, by-the-by.

    The 2011 release was mixed... I'm assuming they used up the white labels they had and then moved onto the black label. Both are 2011 though.

    I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure 2013 BBPt5 is being released December 14th aka 4Elf Day.

    This should be correct.

    I'm not sure what BBPt5 has to do with what the OP is asking. Regular Pt5 comes in 4 packs, distributed to stores, usually sometime in February.
