Justins’ House of Bourbon Admit to D.C. Liquor Law Violations
The owners of Kentucky-based Justins’ House of Bourbon stores admit to liquor law violations and have reached a settlement with the District of Columbia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board on allegations that their internet-only store in Washington violated ABC rules.
According to Kentucky dot com, Justins’ agreed to pay a total of $3,000 in fines for failing to keep records on premises and interfering with an investigation by failing to produce those records within 48 hours.
The settlement dismissed more serious charges of illegally transporting alcoholic beverages within the district and misuse of an off-premises storage facility.
The investigation was part of a multi-state probe that also included federal agents. It’s not known whether the investigation will lead to charges in other states, including Kentucky, where authorities seized numerous bottles of Bourbon and other items of evidence during a January raid on the Justins’ stores in Lexington and Louisville.
