True or False?Is this statement correct?
Bourbon is made in the county of Bourbon, Kentucky.
Answer:
False! Bourbon County is a "dry" county. In fact, most of Kentucky is made up of dry counties. However, in the civilized parts of the state which do allow liquor, like the Bourbon Trail in Nelson County, there are 7 bourbon distilleries.

Nice site, but I thought I'd let you know that Bourbon County, KY is actually wet. You can verify this on your own on the states ABC webpage or on the Paris-Bourbon County Tourism Commission's website:
"Many people mistakenly believe Bourbon County is dry
because of the oft-repeated saying that states: “You can get a
drink in Christian County but not in Bourbon County.” The
truth is that there are numerous places in Bourbon County
where one can enjoy the liquor named for the county."
Here's a list of KY counties indicating whether they're wet, dry, or moist:
