An Act To Amend Title 4 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Alcoholic Liquors. [HB-191]
This bill would facilitate the growth of Delaware licensed craft distilleries by allowing them to expand their businesses within the State by permitting them to sell unfinished bulk neutral spirits to distilleries located within and outside the State. This would recapture tax revenue for the State that is currently being collected outside of the State, as most distilleries currently purchase the bulk neutral spirits for redistillation from outside the State.
