Packersfan1964 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hypothetical Question: Let's say we have a barrel of whiskey we intend to let mature for 2 years, but we decide to take 1 gallon of the barrel for a special tour/tasting for customers to try. Is this allowed or does any spirit need to come out of an approved label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefish_dist Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Not sure it's legal, but I have been in several distilleries that have served samples out of unmarked bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestar Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 You might be able to do so legally if you draw the spirits off as a research sample, and you providing the tasting as a market research sampling. It depends both on fed and state law interpretations. In our state, sample tastings are allowed specifically and only as market research, they can not be charged for and must be done under a retailers license. But if you are going to doing it without bottling, you can't do it outside of the bonded area, so their might be a Catch 22, that is, if they catch you.
