Spirits sold in the Commonwealth shall conform with regulations adopted by the appropriate federal agency, relating to labels, definitions, standards of identity, and standards of fill. In addition, the prior approval of the board must be obtained as to the spirits, containers and labels. Applicants shall furnish the board a certified copy of the approval of the label by such federal agency. The board may request a copy of the federal certificate of label approval before a product is approved for sale.

Subsequent sales under an approved label shall conform to the analysis of the spirits originally approved by the board, and be packaged in approved types and sizes of containers.
