The state, wholesalers and local retailers lose out on sales and tax dollars in this scenario. It’s also feasible that a large online retailer could skirt the 3 tier system along with many of the state/local taxes and deliver booze to your house for less than wholesale cost to local retailers.

Since the 3-tier system is just an example of crony capitalism and an excuse for the state to tax the same thing 4+ times, I'm really OK with it being skirted.

By the way, laws passed in 2018 already allow them to but only if a customer visits the distillery.
They are calling it “only fair”.
Speaking of fair, house bill 200 will allow distilleries to sell certain limited brands only at the distillery. Eliminating the requirement to make them available to retailers. Bad news if you want to buy limited edition bourbon at your local retailer.
