Well, 'CBS Sunday Morning explains' at the article linked-to through "that word" below (basically, it's because 'that Kentucky Bourbon' is brewed by a family---more 'for the love of fine bourbon,' than 'for a profit').

What I show here is 'the group of words' that give "that word" a place to connect to your vocabulary ... deeper sources that firm the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The county was named "Bourbon" by the Virginia legislature (before Kentucky became a State) in honor of that |French Royal-Family (especially Louis XVI) that helped the United States in the Revolutionary War.
