Animal Products in Liquor

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I am new to this list. As referred to in a previous

post about Liquor I have found that both Rum and

Whisk(e)y often use bone charcoal in their respective

filtration processes. My guess is that this is just as

common as in the manufacture of table sugar.

 

Here are some on line-sources:

It is probably best to refer to a given manufacturers

site (and send them some good old down home

feedback)on this unnecessary and economically limiting

practice. In the meanwhile I'll stick to microbrew
