Should be the top frame on the link.

What better thing to "wear" with your kilt than the scent of whisky without having to risk your driver's license.

Just when you think they've invented everything...a bit pricy but a great stocking stuffer or gift request.

I remember I used to have whisky flavored toothpaste...if its still available would make a nice combo gift.

You know, when I was a little kid, my parents were in the soap business on the side. They had this red glycerin soap that looked exactly like a giant piece of candy, and smelled like it too. It didn't taste like candy, though...

I suggest avoiding this product you're talking about, Ron.

Smelling of whisky would still make a policeman suspicious!

Much better to drink it than wear it anyway!

There speaks the voice of experience!

All right! All Right!

I ate the soap, or at least took a big bite of it.

This is not how I get into a lather over whisky.

Sounds like a waste of good whisky to me.

I don't think they are claiming to use 'good' whisky. There are some really awful blended whiskys that already taste like soap. Maybe they are using one of those.

As an addiction counselor yourself, I was wondering if using the whisky soap would in anyway be a violation of the AA codes for recidivism, or if the smell might set some folks who have successfully been on the wagon for a while into a setback. Thoughts?

This kind of reminds me of the caffeine soap at United Nuclear.

I wonder if it works on the same principles:

As it turns out, our good old friend Caffeine reaches the bloodstream faster through skin absorption than ingesting caffeinated beverages such as coffee or energy drinks.
Caffeine Soap works faster than Coffee, Soda, or even premium Energy Drinks. With our amazing Caffeine Soap, pure Caffeine is absorbed directly into your skin - which means it gets into your system faster.
