Buying Too Much Vintage Bourbon Could Soon Lead to Jail Time in Kentucky

 

New legislation on the table in The Commonwealth, a vintage bourbon bill, places initiatives to regulate the market. 

 

On Feb. 8, The Owensboro Times reported that a new bill that will impact vintage bourbon, House Bill 439, received unanimous approval to advance from the House Licensing, Occupations and Administrative Regulations Committee. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Matthew Koch and Rep. Ruth Palumbo, who claimed the bill was meant to tighten up previous laws involving vintage spirits sales within the Bluegrass State.

 

VinePair reported in September 2020 that House Bill 100, which passed on Jan. 1, 2018, allowed retailers the ability to purchase “vintage spirits” — or “dusties,” as they are affectionately called within the bourbon hunting community — and sell them. The bill was controversial, as many distilleries worried counterfeiters and opportunists would exploit the bill to their advantage, as there were few repercussions — until now.

“We’re not saying they can’t sell it,” Koch said, according to The Owensboro Times. “We are saying how much they can sell. We are preventing the seller from being able to turn this into an entire livelihood because that’s not what was intended from all of this.”

 

Some of the provisions of the bill involve charging vendors a $300 annual license fee to sell vintage bourbons. The bill mandates that all vintage bourbon transactions be made in person, and imposes a purchasing cap of no more than 24 bottles of vintage bourbon per licensee a year. Sellers will have to file monthly reports divulging the details about the purchases, dates, and quantities. Those operating in violation of this law could face misdemeanor or Class D felony charges on multiple offenses.

West Virginia passes bill allowing home distillation of liquor up to 5 gallons

 

West Virginia's legislature has approved a bill that would allow individuals to distill up to five gallons of moonshine as a way to celebrate Appalachian history and heritage.

 

YESHA RASCOE, HOST:

We've distilled some news for you about a piece of Appalachian heritage boiled up during West Virginia's latest legislative session. West Virginia Public Broadcasting's Randy Yohe reports on a bill that lawmakers approved allowing Mountain Staters to make their own moonshine at home.

 

RANDY YOHE, BYLINE: Picking up a pint of rum at a liquor store in the capital city of Charleston, W.V., Whitney Mitchell says she favors the idea of distilling her own booze.

 

WHITNEY MITCHELL: I think that's pretty cool, actually, because, I mean, technically, a lot of people make it illegally anyways, so it would make it better for the people.

 

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: Is there debate on the bill?

 

YOHE: First dubbed the moonshine bill, the legislature approved a proposal that would allow someone at least 21 years old to make up to five gallons of moonshine per year. For a couple, the bill allows 10 gallons. Republican Delegate Doug Smith sponsored the measure. He says home distilling of spirits would boost economic development and embrace an Appalachian history and heritage.
