This is the river where grain alcohol turned into bourbon. Along this river distillers would load barges of alcohol destined for Memphis and New Orleans. To cheapen the transport, they used cask oak barrels. During the long trip down to New Orleans the alcohol would mix in with the wooden barrels and be transformed. New Orleans didn't know what to call this sweet new liquor. The casks were stamped with the county of origin, Bourbon County. This resulted in a new nickname being formed, Bourbon Whiskey, and the name stuck. The river isn't used for transport much anymore, but the history remains.

"A great value for the price! Definitely not your average generic chain hotel. Lobby and patio are very clean and unique. Wished we had time for a drink on the patio. Rooms very big, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay again. Less than 10 mins from UK so convenient for parents. "
