It’s a taste of Exandria, the first of its kind. In Vox Machina, Campaign 1 episode 65 of Critical Role’s legendary streaming series, the goliath barbarian/fighter Grog Strongjaw famously buys two bottles of Sandkheg’s Hide, a “fierce” alcoholic beverage produced in the deserts of Marquet from the bile of the sandkheg (chitinous behemoths with a penchant for devouring anyone who loses their way in the sand). In the show, this legendary concoction is perilously potent – but fear not, our homage to this beastly libation is a custom-blended small-batch bourbon (with just a little bit of edge).
As longtime CR fans, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to add new flavor and lore to the Vox Machina canon. Every bottle of Sandkheg’s Hide arrives with the original alchemist’s “found” journal, map, and the story of its inception by fantasy writer Jasmine Bhullar, artist Tyler Walpole and cartographer Deven Rue.
Inspired by the story, Quest’s End master blender Ale Ochoa interpreted the legendary concoction as an intriguing whiskey with base notes of baked apple, brown spice, shortbread cookie, and oak. This 4+ year aged whiskey blend is cask-finished to bring out herbaceous notes, dried red fruit, and a hint of smoke.
