Sláinte: Olde Bushmalt Shaving Soap - by Murphy and McNeil
Bushmills is a village on the north coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The earliest written reference to whiskey-making in the area is from a license that was granted to a landowner by the crown. The area however has had an even longer tradition with distillation.
According to one story, as far back as 1276, an early settler called Sir Robert Savage of Arts, before defeating the Irish in battle, fortified his troops with "a mighty drop of acqua vitae" (water of life... a pretty good name for Irish Whiskey). Ever since, the area has been known for the whiskey trade and attracts over 100,000 visitors a year to the town.
Olde Bushmalt is an homage to this very concept. This is a boozy, masculine fragrance that you're sure to love.
This shaving soap uses our unique "Slainte" soap base which uses beef tallow, duck fat, lamb, and stout beer (among many other amazing ingredients) to create an excellent shaving soap with a slick, heavy lather you'll enjoy.
