A little more inside info from GI on the Vanilla.
This was posted by the brewmaster on BA:

11/26 - Rare Bourbon County Preview on Black Friday at Goose Island Clybourn
Please don't get confused there will be no bottles on sale at the pub this
day, this is not a beer release! We'll be sending just a few
1/6 barrels to the Clybourn pub for Black Friday. Come on in, buy a beer and
avoid shopping and leftovers. There won't be a lot of it and when it's gone
its gone. Hope you get to join us. Event details at the link below.

Expect to see bottles of Rare in retail shortly after Thanksgiving day.

I have spoken with our GI rep down here and she said that bottling will be going on while that event is happening. So, I would imagine that the first week or so in December would be the actual arrival date of vanilla.
