At least thirty percent of the raw materials, other than water, used by an artisan
distiller to produce distilled spirits shall consist of agricultural products grown in South Dakota. If
the products are not available in quantities sufficient to constitute the required thirty percent, the
holder of the artisan distillery license may file an affidavit with the department stating this fact and
requesting that the department approve the use of imported products by the artisan distillery. If the
department approves, the artisan distillery may use imported products and shall continue to be
governed by this Act. The department's approval is effective for one year, after which time it shall
again be required that at least thirty percent of the raw materials used consist of agricultural products
grown in South Dakota, unless the artisan distiller files a new affidavit and request and the
department approves the request.

premises of distilled spirits produced by the artisan distillery at on-sale or off-sale, in total quantities
not in excess of fifty thousand gallons in a calendar year and the dispensing of free samples of
distilled spirits offered for sale. Except as provided in this Act, such sales shall comply with the
provisions of Title 35.
Section
10.
The holder of an artisan distiller license may also hold on the premises where the
distilled spirit is produced an on-sale license issued pursuant to subdivision 35-4-2(4) or (6) and
subject to the quota established in
§
35-4-11 or 35-4-11.1.
Section
11.
The holder of an artisan distiller license shall register labels for each type or brand
produced with the department in the same manner and at the same manner as prescribed for distilled
