South Dakota bars on-sale liquor licensees (like restaurants and bars) from purchasing vintage distilled spirits directly, but this bill allows unlicensed sellers to sell up to 24 liters of vintage spirits per year to each on-sale licensee, provided the sale happens in person at the licensed premises and the seller reports the transaction to the Department of Revenue. A "vintage distilled spirit" is defined as any distilled spirit that hasn't been distributed in South Dakota for at least five years, and bottles must be labeled and reported to the state before resale to consumers.
