Excerpt: "Just about the time they first began making red likker here in Kentucky, which was back in pioneer days, there was a craze on for French names among our people. As a result there's a Bourbon County and a Fayette County and a town named Paris and a town named Versailles . . . so maybe they named it [red likker] for Bourbon County...
