This wheat \u2013 a most noble and pure grain source \u2013 adds the same richness and flavor to Grey Goose vodka that it brings to the finest French breads and pastries.\r\n\r\nSpring water, originating in the Massif Central Mountains, the heart of France, flows into the Cognac Region.\r\nIt is naturally filtered through champagne limestone resulting in exceptionally sweet and pure water.\r\n\r\nThe pure grain spirit undergoes a five step distillation process.  With each step, the true essence and character of the vodka is revealed.\r\n\r\nFERMENTATION\r\n\r\nOnce the wheat has been ground into a fine flour, it is mixed with water and enzymes, which convert the starch content into fermentable sugars (hydrolysis)\r\n\r\nAt this stage, using a yeast bespoke to Grey Goose, the fermentation process begins.  In order to obtain the same fermented wheat, we closely monitor the temperature of the fermentation throughout the whole process.\r\n\r\nThe temperature is maintained by circulating the product in a loop with cold water\r\n\r\nDISTILLATION\r\nProprietary continuous 5-step distillation process\r\n\r\nFocuses on maximizing and concentrating the flavor of the fine French wheat instead of stripping out impurities because we only use the very best natural ingredients\r\n\r\nThe temperature of each of the five columns is continually adjusted to enable reactions to be triggered at precise temperatures\r\n\r\nThe distillation is constantly monitored by measuring the temperature and pressure in the columns and the quality of the high proof spirit\r\n\r\nPURE SPRING WATER\r\nPure spring water is taken straight from the ground and blended with the spirit\r\n\r\nThe water travels over 400km from the Massif Central to Cognac\r\n\r\nNo need for filtration - naturally filtered through the Grande Champagne limestone\r\n\r\nGives it a softness and natural touch of sweetness\r\n\r\nBLENDING\r\nUnder the supervision of the ma\u00eetre de chai, the high proof spirit is blended with the pure spring water until it reaches the perfect strength and optimal taste\r\n\r\nTHE WORLDS BEST\r\nGrey Goose uses the best at every stage of its production process from the quality of its ingredients to its bottling technology.  From the sourcing of the wheat to the moment a bottle of Grey Goose leaves its home in Cognac, a total of 500 quality control checks are carried out\"","editor":"","url":"","tag":"Grey-Goose-Vodka","id":181,"updated_on":"2009-09-01T06:55:37-04:00","doubled_by":"Lori","fax":"","phone":"","checked_by":"Rick","status":"Vegan Friendly","email":"","state":"","red_yellow_green":"Green"}},{"company":{"address":"Via Sacchetti, 20 - 20099 Sest","city":"San Giovanni (MI)","company_name":"Gruppo Campari","country":"Italy","created_on":"2009-12-09T06:41:00-05:00","postal":"","notes":"Company email, Feb 2012:\r\n\r\nWe do not have an official document in English, however we can confirm that Campari products do not contain ingredients of animal origin, exception made for cream based products (Carolans) or containing honey (American Honey, Irish Mist), for which the presence of such typology of ingredient is clearly indicated on the label.\r\n\r\nThe productive cycle of some products (and among these Sparkling wines, Cinzano vermouths, Campari bitter) foresees the use of gelatin to assit the productive cycle.\r\n\r\nOctober 2011: Barnivore is looking into what products definitely are NOT fined with gelatin.\r\n\r\nCompany email (October 2011):\r\n\r\n\"Campari products's portfolio do not use animal ingredients.

Spanish oak and American oak are both used to make casks for maturing Highland Park and each of these types of oak impart specific flavours to the spirit.\r\n\r\nMost of the Scotch whisky industry uses Bourbon barrels for maturation. At Highland Park Bourbon barrels are not routinely filled. Traditional oak casks are used; butts, puncheons or hogsheads \u2013 no barrels \u2013 seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry.\r\n\r\nThe oak source (American or Spanish) is of greater importance than the wine type. Spanish oak sherry casks give colour and dried fruit character whereas American oak sherry casks give vanilla and butterscotch flavours. Sherry casks are far more expensive but the view at Highland Park is that they are worth it for the character they give the maturing spirit. Typically, a sherry cask will cost 10 times as much as a Bourbon barrel.\r\n\r\nThe Edrington Group, proprietor of Highland Park, is the leading proponent of wood management within the Scotch whisky industry. It is estimated that up to 80% of the final flavours in bottled whisky can come from the wood. Sherry oak casks contribute to the distinctive richness and multi-dimensional complexity of Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky and are certainly a justifiable expenditure.\"\r\n\r\n\"No sherry will be treated in this way [i.e. fined with animal ingredients] before it is filled into casks. This would be the same for all of our whiskies so we are all clear on the vegetarian front.

Whilst the raw material for The Famous Grouse production will include barley, maize and wheat there is no gluten in the finished product as it is removed at the distillation stage. \r\nIf an allergy is oats specific then you can be assured that this cereal is not used in Scotch Whisky production. \r\nHowever, our knowledge base is in whisky and not medicine so if in any doubt you should consult your doctor, pharmacist or dietician.\r\nThere are no animal products used in our whiskies so The Famous Grouse is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. \r\n\r\nRegarding your specific enquiry, our Master Blender advises that fining in the sherry industry is carried out after the sherry is removed from the cask so no animal products come into contact with the casks.\"\r\n\r\nNote from Craig (March 2013):\r\n\"Famous Grouse has Highland Park as a principle ingredient and all Highland Park is from sherry casks, one of the very few distilleries to do so.\r\n\r\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Famous_Grouse\r\nThe single malt whiskies used in The Famous Grouse blend include the Edrington owned Highland Park and The Macallan.\r\n\r\nHighland Park\r\nhttp://www.highlandpark.co.uk/lda/\r\n\r\nSHERRY OAK CASKS\r\nThe type of wood from which the cask is made is the most important element in encouraging specific flavours which give this single malt its own distinctive character. Spanish oak and American oak are both used to make casks for maturing Highland Park and each of these types of oak impart specific flavours to the spirit.\r\n\r\nMost of the Scotch whisky industry uses Bourbon barrels for maturation. At Highland Park Bourbon barrels are not routinely filled. Traditional oak casks are used; butts, puncheons or hogsheads \u2013 no barrels \u2013 seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry.\r\n\r\nThe oak source (American or Spanish) is of greater importance than the wine type. Spanish oak sherry casks give colour and dried fruit character whereas American oak sherry casks give vanilla and butterscotch flavours. Sherry casks are far more expensive but the view at Highland Park is that they are worth it for the character they give the maturing spirit. Typically, a sherry cask will cost 10 times as much as a Bourbon barrel.\r\n\r\nThe Edrington Group, proprietor of Highland Park, is the leading proponent of wood management within the Scotch whisky industry. It is estimated that up to 80% of the final flavours in bottled whisky can come from the wood. Sherry oak casks contribute to the distinctive richness and multi-dimensional complexity of Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky and are certainly a justifiable expenditure.\"\r\n\r\n\"No sherry will be treated in this way [i.e. fined with animal ingredients] before it is filled into casks. This would be the same for all of our whiskies so we are all clear on the vegetarian front. We know this because we work with our forestry teams, coopers and sherry bodegas from start to finish and through these relationships we can monitor what is happening with every cask.\"\r\n\r\nChris says (July 2011):\r\n\"Just thought that I would let you know that Famous Grouse whisky is Vegan - They have a FAQ on their website which lists it:\r\nhttp://www.thefamousgrouse.com/Content/pdf/faqs.pdf","editor":"sarah","url":"http://www.thefamousgrouse.com/","tag":"The-Famous-Grouse","id":1873,"updated_on":"2013-04-21T21:25:50-04:00","doubled_by":"Craig","fax":"","phone":"+44 (0)1764 657023","checked_by":"Chris","status":"Vegan Friendly","email":"http://www.thefamousgrouse.com/contact-us","state":"Crieff","red_yellow_green":"Green"}},{"company":{"address":"c/o BB&R Spirits Ltd, 3 St James\u2019s Street","city":"London","company_name":"The Glenrothes","country":"England","created_on":"2012-05-31T09:35:53-04:00","postal":"SW1A 1EG","notes":"Company email (April 2013):\r\n[Editor's note: Craig verified that \"sea shells\" as referred to in the March 2012 response would actually be diatomaceous earth, thereby making Macallan vegan-friendly.]\r\n\"Diatomaceous earth also known as D.E., diatomite, is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder.\r\n \r\nDiatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae.
