The Irish Coffee Soap, a masterful blend of Bushmills Whiskey and locally ground coffee grounds. This artisan soap encapsulates the spirit of Ireland, offering a luxurious lathering experience that leaves your skin soft and rejuvenated. Bushmills Whiskey, an iconic Irish spirit crafted over centuries, is made from malted barley, water, yeast, and other flavouring agents, a tradition unchanged since 1608.
The whiskey undergoes a meticulous process involving copper pot stills for distillation, ensuring purity and complexity. After redistilling, the spirit matures in oak casks, developing its signature smoothness and depth. This ageing process is crucial, allowing Bushmills to craft blends with distinct characters, a testament to their handcrafted methods and attention to detail.
In creating the Irish Coffee Soap, Christine from Bathe Botanicals marries the rich, complex flavours of Bushmills Whiskey with locally sourced coffee grounds, enriching the soap with a blend of essential oils, luxurious butters, and oils. The key ingredients include olive oil for its moisturising properties, coconut oil for cleansing, cocoa butter for a decadent texture, shea butter rich in vitamins for skin elasticity, sweet almond oil for hydration, and castor oil for creating those luxurious bubbles.
