Matthew Lillard co-founded Beadle & Grimm’s, a company that makes super-premium boxed sets of tabletop RPGs so expensive that I can’t afford them. The actor, also known for Five Nights at Freddy’s, Scream and Scoob-Do, has a fantasy-themed whiskey company called Find Familiar Spirits.
We’ve had a whiskey edition called Quest’s End: Paladin, and it sold out (twice), and now there’s Quest’s End: Rogue on the way. The new range goes on sale on February 29th.
Good news, if you’re in the UK, Find Familiar Spirits will be ‘invading’ Britain, and a limited edition of Rogue will be available. Readers are advised to sign up if they want a bottle. I have, and so I’ll be able to see by how much I’ll not be able to afford the bottle.
Matthew Lillard said,
It’s fitting that Rogue is our second whiskey, since we’re a bit of a rogue in the spirits business. We don’t have a big corporate backer, or a huge distribution network. We launched with an appeal directly to fantasy and gaming fans, and we were lucky enough to win them over because we’re genuinely part of this community. We’re offering a product that’s authentic to our love for fantasy and gaming.”
Gaming icon Matthew Lillard and screenwriter Justin Ware bring their storytelling expertise and passion for community to the spirits world with Find Familiar Spirits. This venture, crafted with the guidance of Blue Run Spirits co-founder Tim Sparapani, promises award-winning drinks and an inclusive, fandom-fueled experience.
Quest’s End: Rogue isn’t just a whiskey – it unlocks a world of fantasy crafted by masters of their craft. Dive into the latest ‘Dawn of the Unbound Gods’ chapter written by beloved Dungeon Master Kate Welch and adorned with original artwork by the celebrated Tyler Jacobson.”
Master Blender Alé Ochoa, a rising star in the spirits world, meticulously crafted this whiskey from select Kentucky and Indiana bourbons, aged four years for exceptional depth. Each limited-edition bottle reveals vibrant vanilla notes interwoven with hints of baked apple and jammy fruit, followed by a refreshingly herbaceous finish.
The question is, will a dram be smooth like a rogue or firey like a warlock?
