Edited Image of Matthew Lillard from Quest's End Critical Role Whiskey Interview
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Quest's End continues to bring together fantasy and high-quality spirits for fans, but this time they are partnering with Critical Role to bring a piece of Exandria to life. Their new whiskey, Sandkheg’s Hide, is pulled directly from Vox Machina's adventures featured in episode 65 of Campaign 1. Quest's End took inspiration directly from Matthew Mercer's detailed description of the bottle.
Matthew Lillard: First and foremost, we adore and respect the Critical Role world. They are obviously the paramount of the streaming world in terms of our community. The people they are and what they represent in this community in terms of inclusion, acceptance, love, storytelling, they're just the best of the best. So, being affiliated with that as people is great. We want to be in their world. We want to be in their graces.
We went off and built the bottle. Ale Ochoa, who's our master blender, we played her the clip and explained Critical Role. Then she threw her witchcraft and alchemy, transcribed the things that she heard on the show into actual liquid. The whole process has been nothing but a dream. They've been great partners all the way through.
The Critical Role Cast Is Going To Pick The Whiskey Lillard also broke down the flavor profile of Sandkheg’s Hide and explained how Ochoa created the whiskey. Keyleth and Percy were famously instantly intoxicated by Sandkheg’s Hide unable to speak. However, Lillard assured that won't happen with the Quest's End version, "No, I don't think it will do that. But it is definitely our answer for that knockout, which is a higher proof than normal.
We are showing the cast and the creative team four different samples. So we're going over to the studios. We're all sitting down. Ale is flying in from Kentucky, and she's bringing a mix of four different samples. We're going to sit around, we're going to taste them, and the cast is actually going to pick the one they like the best. Whatever they pick, we're going to go out and blend.
And so, I will say that throughout the whole process. We've gotten very few notes, very few push backs on the process. But Jasmine did a story arc. We submitted that. Then she did a first pass of the story. Then we did a lore pass to make sure that the lore was on point. We wanted to make sure that we're really representing the story, the community, and the things that Critters love. We want to put into the adventure. The book is 44 pages long.
The whole thing, it has been about eight months putting it together from the deal points to the liquid, to sourcing bottles, to bringing in the maker's mark, but I feel like it's all lining up. It's like all these pieces coming together, falling all at once, that combine into this one experience. Lots of moving parts, but right now everything's going great.
