West Virginia HB5142 amends the Code to allow the sale and distribution of vintage distilled spirits.

West Virginia HB5142 amends the Code to establish definitions and processes for the sale and distribution of vintage distilled spirits. It defines "vintage distilled spirit" as a package of distilled spirits in their original unopened container, not owned by a distillery, and not available from a licensed wholesaler in the state. The bill allows licensed sellers to sell vintage spirits purchased from non-licensed persons, provided they notify the Alcohol Beverage Control Commission. Distillers can sell spirits at fairs and festivals.
