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.

"Staff was helpful and friendly. Room was spacious."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lexington/UK Coldstream

10/10 Excellent

"The lady at the front desk was a sweetheart. As our attempt to check in early failed only because the room wasn’t ready yet, she gave us directions and restaurant ideas so we could have a nice meal and drinks before the game. The room was clean and inviting. The complementary drinks and great breakfast was a plus!! "
