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.

Super impressed - amazing pool and atrium

"Hotel was awesome. Amazing pool in a big old school atrium that was super fun for the kids. So had a great selection of arcade games that were not too expensive. Excellent breakfast and great coffee. Super nice and clean bathrooms. I was very impressed. We will definitely be back on our next road trip. "
