hamiltondistillers Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have had a lot of inquiries about selling and shipping bottles to out of state customers. I have started to contact every state to see what the laws are, but am wondering if anyone already has this information? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumfarmer Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I agree with Dave on the constitutional violation, but it makes sense from a pragmatic perspective to avoid the obvious potential problem States listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
