High Bridge, KY

Wilmore

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.
Looking up Kentucky river at a tributary offshoot that has completely different coloring.

The room was elegant and roomy, filled with light and added touches like real plants and marble window sills. The shower was amazing. The toiletries were lovely. And they put out coffee in the lobby at 7:00.
