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.

Comté de Jessamine : les meilleurs cottages

Cottage – Perryville

« Hidden gem! SUPER CLEAN! Very cool the way the owners have renovated this 185 year old building from a general store to a comfortable place to get some R&R. I really appreciate the warning about the stairs leading to the rooms. Having mobility issues and booking homes can be aggravating, you spend hours research your trip ( where to stay, eat, mode of transport, activities , etc ) only to find out that the property is difficult to manage moving about the rooms. »

« We rented this VRBO for a surprise engagement Halloween party for our sister, and it was absolutely perfect. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The house itself was just adorable—it had so much character and felt like a real home rather than just a rental space. It was stocked with everything we could possibly need and more, which made hosting the party a breeze.One thing that really stood out was how cozy and...

« I can’t say enough good stuff about this property. My wife and I (and our two kids) took my parents to Lexington for the weekend so they could experience horse country and this house was a perfect authentic stay. The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The scenery was excellent with beautiful sunrises and sunsets overlooking multiple pastures with horses. Sharon was very communicative and provided us with everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend and...

Cottage – Georgetown

« This is a wonderful property. It is very cozy, and the beds are fantastic. About our only criticism would be more that there was not a lot of lighting in the primary bedroom and that there needed to be a better non-stick skillet or two for the kitchen. Also, for those with kiddos, the stairs to the loft are very steep. Property is perfect for adults though, and the location is perfect for walking to shops and restaurants. »

« Thank you for a wonderful stay your house is beautiful and loved all the small details right down to coming in to a vase of fresh flowers. We came down for my husband’s 40th birthday Celebration and Thanksgiving, with our four kids. The board games were a huge hit, we played for hours. They had so many to choose from. The back yard was so incredibly relaxing and the jacuzzi was wonderful. Thank you for making this experience unforgettable, this house does not lack a single thing, the kitchen has...
