Company email, March 2012:

Thank you for your enquiry below I have checked with our Master Distiller and he informed me the we use filter sheets which are produced from sea-shells so it would appear Macallan cannot be classed as vegan.

Company email:

"I can assure you that only Barley, Water and Yeast are used to make The
Macallan. Any colour or flavour is derived purely from the interaction
between the oak cask and our distilled spirit. Any filtering uses purely physical filters and does not use isinglass, gelatine or bone char."

The Macallan is a single malt Scotch whisky.
