A souvenir retail liquor license may be issued to any licensed Kentucky distiller that
has a gift shop or other retail outlet on its premises, if the distillery is located in wet
territory. The application shall be made on forms provided by the board.
A wholesaler registered to distribute the brands of any distiller holding a souvenir
retail license may permit the distiller to deliver a souvenir package directly from the
distillery proper to the portion of the distillery premises operated by the licensee for
the sale of souvenir packages. However, all direct shipments shall be invoiced from
the distiller to the wholesaler and from the wholesaler to the souvenir package
licensee, and all products directly shipped shall be included in the wholesaler's
inventory and depletions for purposes of tax collections imposed pursuant to KRS
243.710 to 243.895 and 243.990.
A distiller who has obtained a souvenir retail license may sell souvenir packages at
retail to distillery visitors of legal drinking age, in quantities not to exceed an
aggregate of three (3) liters per visitor per day, with the exception of a purchase by a
partnership, limited liability partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or
other business entity holding an event on the premises of the distillery, in which
case the limitation shall be one (1) liter per visitor attending the event. These sales
shall be permitted only through the gift shop or other retail outlet on the distiller's
premises.
Hours of sale for a souvenir retail liquor licensee shall be 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.
prevailing time Monday through Saturday. The licensed premises may remain open
if they have a separate department pursuant to KRS 244.290(1).
Except as provided in this section, souvenir retail liquor licenses shall be governed
by all the statutes and administrative regulations governing the retail sale of distilled
spirits by the package.
No wholesaler may restrict the sale of souvenir packages to the souvenir retail
liquor licensee exclusively, but shall make souvenir packages available to any
Kentucky retail licensee licensed for the sale of distilled spirits by the package.
