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.

The Campbell House Lexington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I was there from California for surgery at Lexington Clinic which happens to be a block away. I used to be a flight attendant and we’d stay at Campbell House for our overnights, it was nice to see it updated. The staff were amazing. The restaurant food was delicious. Highly recommend. "
