Conecuh Ridge is about to lose its designation as Alabama's official whiskey.

State Representative Alan Boothe of Troy got the House to pass a resolution today repealing the designation. Boothe predicts the Senate will take the same action soon.

Boothe got the Legislature to designate the Troy-based liquor as an official Alabama product last year. But Boothe says he decided the designation should be removed because of the whiskey-maker's recent legal problems.

The maker of Conecuch Ridge, Kenny May, recently pleaded guilty in Geneva and Houston counties to charges of illegal sales. May was ordered to pay a total of $1,200, $49 in fines and court costs.
