More detail
Starting November 1, 2026, licensed distillers may sell spirits at certain locations away from their distillery and at public events. The provisions cover Oklahoma licensed distillers selling spirits at public events and at locations controlled by the distiller away from its licensed premises. For these sales, the spirits must first be sold to and shipped to an Oklahoma licensed wine and spirits wholesaler, then made available for purchase by the distiller. Spirits sold for on-site drinking must be served in an area the distiller controls; that area counts as distillery premises. These sales are final. Consumers may add nonalcoholic substances after purchase. These provisions take effect November 1, 2026.
The law sets a combined limit of 15,000 gallons per calendar year for the specified off-site and public-event sales. The limit applies to licensed distillers' sales under those two provisions. The limit combines sales under the provisions for locations away from the distillery and public events. The limit applies by calendar year beginning in 2026; the act takes effect November 1, 2026.
