Company email (September 2018)
"There are no animal products used in the production of Scotch Whisky. All we can use in the full production is Water, barley and yeast, however once the whisky is made it is filled into oak casks and there are some issue with these. While bourbon casks are still vegan we cannot guarantee that any Sherry, Port or wine casks are not treated with animal products and therefore any whiskies which we make which contain whisky matured in these casks cannot be definitively called vegan.
"At the moment only one of our permanent range of whiskies has any Sherry or wine casks, this is The Story or The Spaniard. The rest noted below are all matured in Bourbon casks, whether first or refill and so should be vegan friendly.
