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.

"Although I got tied up in traffic and had to be at the LEX airport the next morning at 4:30am and was only at the hotel for an hour and 15 minutes for my stay - it was a most pleasant experience. The guy at the front desk was amazing, the room was awesome, and I was at least able to have hot tea the next morning before my Uber rude arrived. If I have to stay in Lexington again, it will be at this hotel. "

"Absolutely the cleanest hotel that I have ever stayed at. Our reservation was made less than an hour of arrival and were able to get our requests filled. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had everything in the room that we needed and more. It felt like staying in a high end hotel without the price. If we are ever in Lexington, we will definitely stay at this location again."
