Soap making and chemistry

To anyone who does this professionally or to any chemists, I have a concern. I made soap a couple of days ago following a recipe of proportions. There was a recipe for every oil and i took the full olive oil and coconut oil recipes and added them together to get a soap with two oils.I also added lavender flowers and raw oats to the bars. This is lye soap, so I used lye. I did not have a scale so I used volume to compensate since the recipe should work as long as proportions are followed.

The day after it looked fine. The second day (today) the bars were completely cured and this weird shit happened.
I am now confused. I thought the drops were glycerin so I wanted to taste some and the instant the substance touched my tongue tip it burned it instantly! It was highly sour and I spit it out immediately. I haven't tried to determine what it is yet but I thought I'd ask first here.
