If a bank takes back liquor that was used as collateral on a business loan, the bank can sell that liquor to a licensed liquor store or retailer. The bank does not need a liquor license to do this, but it does need approval from the state alcohol and tobacco control office. The sale only covers full cases, kegs, barrels, or unopened containers.
