Bourbon Fun Fact:
Bourbon is named after the House of Bourbon, a powerful French dynasty.
In response to the Whiskey Rebellion, George Washington decided to incentivize disgruntled, tax-evading settlers to move southward to Kentucky, then still part of Virginia. The governor, Thomas Jefferson, doled out 60 acres of land to each Pennsylvania transplant who agreed to produce American whiskey on their land. Jefferson christened the new settlement Bourbon County after the French Bourbon dynasty, which held court in the 18th century. Distillers began shipping their wares down the Missouri and Ohio rivers, stamping “Bourbon County” on each barrel to mark its origin and ultimately giving the drink its permanent name.
