Tax Incentives Approved For Rare Breed Distillery

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Rare Breed Distillery, the distillery that makes Wild Turkey bourbon, and a feature film starring Ben Kingsley were among projects that got approval for state tax incentives from the Kentucky Tourism Development Finance Authority. Rare Breed, which operates the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, got preliminary approval for a $4 million expanded visitor's center that will include a tasting room, meeting space, lounge and kitchen. Tourism attractions in Kentucky are eligible for a rebate of sales tax over a 10-year period for up to 25 percent of capital costs. The board also approved incentives for a film adaptation of Henrik Ibsen play, "A Doll's House," that will be shot at sites between Louisville and northern Kentucky this year and next.
