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 house was immaculate and very warm a cozy. After visiting the local distilleries we came back and enjoyed games of poker and video games provided with lots of fun. Beds were comfortable. Appliances were very nice with plenty of cookware. House was on a fairly busy street but sat back from the road so there was no noise at all. Hope to come back again!"

"Our stay didn’t go as planned as it rained, snowed and was cold the whole time. However the home was very nice and the little touches, like a basket a snacks, stocked bathroom supplies made the stay very enjoyable.The owners go above and beyond to make it feel homey unlike most rentals we have used."

"Great house! Super cute coffee shop down the street too!"

"We stayed 4 nights in late December with kids and grandkids and had a great time visiting, eating, touring, and hanging out. We had an excellent time at Buffalo Trace Distillery and Mill Ridge Farm. The house had everything we (12) needed, and Kristine was very helpful with the questions we asked. "
