Company email (March 2013):
"The Creme de Menthe does not contain any animal ingredients and there are no animal products used in the processing/filtration of the product."
Company email: (kwaliteitsdienst@dekuyper.nl) April 2011
During production of Peachtree, Crème de Bananes, Blue Curacao and Watermelon no animal products of any kind are used.
Labels on the bottles are glued with casein glue.
Also in the ingredients which are used in the 4 liqueurs no animal products of any kind are used."
UPDATE from Barnivore Community:
"I own a liquor store, and about the Beam Global email thing; Cruzan makes cream rum with real dairy cream in it, the Dekuyper's many have dairy. Even on the back of the bottles like butter Shots says "dairy" and they use capric acid to in most of there liquors. So, thats dairy and animal's fat in Dekuypers.
So Beam Global gave whoever emailed them, a fake as email that almost all comapies give out.
I'll be happy to email you photos of the Cruzan Cream and Butter Shots if you need any more info. Thanks!"
