South Dakota SB186 allows licensed distillers to ship spirits directly to consumers over 21, with tax and reporting requirements.

South Dakota SB186 permits distillers with a direct shipper license to ship distilled spirits directly to verified consumers aged 21 or older. Distillers must verify the age of the recipient using a government-issued ID or an age verification service. Shippers must label packages to indicate alcohol content and the need for a signature from a recipient aged 21 or older. The bill mandates quarterly reports to the Department of Revenue, detailing shipments and taxes due.
