Four Roses Demonstrates Commitment to Preservation of Salt River

Four Roses employees gathered in late September for a volunteer service day to help maintain the riverbank around the Salt River, the 150-mile spring-fed river that flows beside the Four Roses Distillery.

The river, which stretches east to near Parksville and west to the Ohio River near West Point, flows with limestone-rich water that is one of Four Roses’ primary ingredients in distilling its Bourbons.

The group removed debris from the dam and concrete area, as well as the highway where it forks on each side of the river, and along the roadway. “The Salt River is not only important to Four Roses, but to all of Kentucky as a valuable natural resource,” said Four Roses Master Distiller Brent Elliott. “We want to help preserve this waterway for today, tomorrow and the future.”
