Description
Alcoholic beverage control; distiller's license; tastings. Increases from one and one-half ounces to four and one-half ounces the total quantity of spirits a distiller licensee may serve to each consumer at a tasting event. The bill allows samples to be offered in flights of three different spirits products, but limits each sample to one-half ounce per spirits product, unless served as a mixed beverage, in which case the sample may contain up to one and one-half ounces of spirits. The bill also allows distiller licensees to operate one remote tasting room, designated in the license, at which tastings may be conducted and spirits sold in closed containers for off-premises consumption.
