KRS 244.370: Whiskey to be aged -- Exception if not labeled as Kentucky whiskey.

No whiskey produced from grains which are cooked, fermented, and distilled in

Kentucky, except whiskey the barrel containing which is branded "Corn Whiskey"

under the internal revenue laws, shall be bottled in Kentucky or removed from this

state unless such whiskey has been aged in oak barrels for a period of not less than

one (1) full year; provided, however, that whiskey aged less than one (1) year may

be removed from the state and bottled, or bottled in Kentucky, if the word "Kentucky"

or any word or phrase implying Kentucky origin does not appear on the front label or

elsewhere on the retail container or package except in the name and address of the

distiller as required by federal regulation. For violations of this section, the

department shall revoke the permit of the licensee from whose warehouse or

premises such whiskey shall have been removed or in which such whiskey shall

have been bottled.
