Whisky og sæbe er noget man normalt forbinder med smagen af fx. Bowmore, Glen Garioch eller Edradour - der alle fra tid til anden har et eller andet sæbeagtigt over sig. På Bruicladdich er man dog gået helt andre veje se her:
 "The Spirited Soap Company uses whisky to make transparent soap. Ailsa Hayes, as a pharmaceutical research chemist with Glaxo SmithKlyne, learnt that to make transparent soap it requires alcohol to clarify it. Since alcohol comes from distilleries - and here on Islay there are seven - it made sense to use whisky.

Made from vegetable oils using the traditional ‘cold process’ technique, the soap is cooked with sugar, vegetable glycerine and finally the spirit is added. The soap is then scented with essential oils – so you don’t smell like an alcoholic.

Commissioned by the distillery, The Bruichladdich Bar is made by the same technique to capture the very essence of whisky-making:

Instead of girly perfumes, the soap is naturally scented using whisky-drenched oak shavings from the inside a Bruichladdich cask. It gives a toasty, cold-tar sort of aroma – altogether more butch. And because the casks are charred on the inside in the barrel-making process the soap is both transparent and almost jet black. Ideal for the true single malt enthusiast".
