This is the same map I used when I recently travelled to SE KY. I went to the 'moist' city of Cumberland and found 'Tucker's Whiskey Dispensary' with a few bourbon treasures on sale.

As long as the customer left the gift shop with a properly sealed bottle, and the distillery accounted for it as they would for any other bottle sold at the gift shop, I don't see any impediment to actually withdrawing it from the barrel in the consumer's presence.
When one of the distilleries starts doing it, I hope they will give Linn proper credit.

While sales wouldn't be strong enough to really effect the bottom line, it would literally be 'feel good' marketing at it's best. Distillers without any single barrel bottling such as Maker's Mark would benefit greatly as would Jim Beam.
I'm sure that Kentucky distillers could get whatever state variances that might be needed. Getting the B.A.T.F. to grant a special variance or modify the regulations in some small way to allow such sales is not out of the question.

... that, and the way I understood things is if the proof varies would that not require an altered label which would have to be registered per variation - or no?bourbonv wrote:The big problem is taxes. The government wants to make sure that the three tier system stays in place because there is a different tax at every tier. Selling from the barrel cuts out two different tiers.
