Company email (circa 2014):
As per your request, please be advised that our Bacardi rums do not contain any animal-by products or ingredients.
[Specifically regarding Bacardi Silver]:
Bacardi Silver malt beverages contain the finest ingredients, including malt, hops, select cereal grains, and yeast. Similar to beer, these beverages are fully fermented and then aged; however they undergo special clarification to provide a clear product. Unique flavors are then added to produce a light, crisp, refreshing malt beverage.
We don't use animal derived ingredients in any of our products, nor as lubricant in the process equipment for making the beverages or packaging material. None of the individual ingredients contain any animal products, including the malt you mentioned in your e-mail.
One last question, just to make sure, does the clarification process involve isinglass? Yes I know I'm probably annoying, but I have to go through these type of things being a strict vegan.
It’s great to hear from you again. And as I mentioned in the previous e-mail, we’re always happy to answer questions or take comments from friends.
To specifically address your question, the clarification process of Bacardi Silver malt beverages does not involve isinglass or any other animal byproducts.

I am an enthusiast and expert with a comprehensive understanding of the beverage industry, particularly focusing on the products offered by Bacardi Global Brands. My expertise is grounded in a wealth of information gathered from official company communications and corroborated by reputable sources.
The provided data showcases Bacardi's commitment to transparency regarding the ingredients in their products, specifically highlighting the vegan-friendly nature of several items. Notably, Bacardi's communication in September 2017 asserts that CAZADORES does not contain any animal by-products or ingredients. This statement is further supported by an email from April 2017 regarding Eristoff vodka, emphasizing its 100% pure grain composition and absence of animal-derived ingredients.
Bacardi's vegan-friendly stance extends to their Breezer line, as indicated in emails from October 2016 and September 2017, listing various vegan-approved colorings used in these beverages. Furthermore, a response from September 2022 specifies that most Bacardi rums, including Bacardi Party Drinks, are free of animal by-products, with the exception of BACARDI Spiced, which contains honey.
Oxley Gin, produced by Oxley and owned by Bacardi, is also highlighted as a vegan-friendly option in an email from August 2022, emphasizing its cold-infused process and the absence of major allergens and animal by-products.
In summary, Bacardi Global Brands is dedicated to providing clear and detailed information about the ingredients in their products. The majority of their offerings, including Breezers, Oxley Gin, Eristoff Vodka, and various rums, align with vegan dietary preferences. However, consumers should be aware of the exception with BACARDI Spiced, which contains honey and is not vegan-friendly.
