Is Bourbon Whiskey Named After Bourbon Street - #141

Is Bourbon Named after the Most Famous Street in New Orleans?

Today’s episode is all about bourbon, whiskey, and its ties to New Orleans. We’ll cover history as well as places to imbibe in the Crescent City!

Sponsors The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC)

Support comes from The Historic New Orleans Collection, the city’s premiere history museum, located at 540 Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

There, you’ll get to explore three centuries of great New Orleans stories in some of our most historic spaces—and admission is free.

Don’t miss the immersive film about the history of the French Quarter at night, or any of the museum’s changing exhibitions in the brand new Tricentennial Wing. Go to HNOC.org/Visit to plan your trip.
