There is no family or a single person credited with inventing the American’s Official Spirit Bourbon.
The name Bourbon comes from the place Bourbon County, a large district founded after the American Revolution. This particular county was full of crops and corn, and there were small farmers who used to distill whiskey around the place. The farmers either used the crops to distill it into whiskey by themselves, or they would have sold it to someone nearby to distill it into whiskey. The barrels which contained these whiskeys were named Old Bourbon, and thus the whiskey was found in the late 1700s.
There are plenty of whiskey distillers from the place right now, and there are top 10 makers of spirits as well. Bourbon is their main recipe, and people love to taste bourbon more than any other whiskey in the world.
