FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — McClintock Distilling Co. and Savage Soaps are proud to announce their collaboration in making a natural handmade soap called “FORAGER”.
“During a past event at McClintock Distilling to acknowledge the Top 50 Frederick Manufacturers, I met Braeden and he told me he was interested in creating a soap using their leftover gin botanicals. Braeden thought it would be a great idea to be able to repurpose the leftover botanicals instead of throwing them away and I wholeheartedly agreed. I went to work on blending essential oils that complemented the botanical mixture and then made a small soap batch of “FORAGER” and it turned out great!” said Misti Morningstar, owner of Savage Soaps.
“Working with local farmers, communities and businesses are a cornerstone of our mission at McClintock and this project is a great way to highlight the spirit of community in Downtown Frederick. This partnership is a great way to continue to increase the sustainability and environmental stewardship of McClintock and Savage Soaps and we love working with like-minded people like Misti,” said Braeden Bumpers, Co-founder, McClintock Distilling Company.
Misti stated, “I’m really grateful for the opportunity to work together with Braeden and other local businesses and I want to thank Jodie Bollinger, of The Frederick County Office of Economic Development and Donna Goff, of The City of Frederick Gov., who have constantly supported our small business success.”
