Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 25179 — Distilled Spirits is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) Only agave spirits produced entirely from agaves grown within California, without flavoring or coloring additives, may be labeled with the words “California agave spirits” or any combination of the words “California agave spirits,” “California agave,” or a substantially similar description. This section does not preclude the use of the word “California” to describe the location of a distillery.
(b) The department may seize agave spirits labeled in violation of this section, regardless of where they are found, and may dispose of the spirits pursuant to Section 25355.
