Sperm oil ????
I'm guessing Sperm Whale Oil.

Whale oil, also called train oil, any oil derived from any species of whale, including sperm oil from sperm whales, train oil from baleen whales, and melon oil from small toothed whales. From the 16th century through the 19th century, whale oil was used principally as lamp fuel and for producing soap.
