Matthew Lillard, an actor known for roles such as Shaggy in the live-action “Scooby-Doo” and Stu in the Scream Franchise. Is set to launch a whiskey inspired by… Dungeons and Dragons.
Find Familiar Spirits – founded by Lillard, screenwriter Justin Ware, and Blue Run Spirits co-founder Tim Sparapani – this fall is launching Quest’s End, a D&D-themed series of 16 collectible versions ( “expressions”) of blended bourbon whiskeys. The bourbon’s special bottles will be accompanied by chapters of a new D&D-inspired saga written by Kate Welch, a veteran dungeon master and game designer.
Available in limited numbers, each bottle “is the continuation of an ongoing story. The first four bottles are Paladin, Rogue, Warlock and Dragon,”
Each bottle sells for $150, and each will be numbered as part of a relatively small batch. The paladin straight bourbon whiskey blend is characterized by notes of vanilla and fruit “with an undercurrent of spice to reflect her fighting spirit” (per the bottle’s tasting notes). Distilled in Indiana and Kentucky, Paladin will be available for preorder online starting Oct. 4, ahead of its November launch. You wont find them on store shelves of your local shop, the Quest’s End line will be sold online, through specialty alcohol retailer Seelbach’s. , Quest’s End bottles won’t be available outside the United States, and in only about 41 states inside the country, due to the many different alcohol laws for online sales.
“Each one of the bottles has a map on the back. It has hit points on the side, so as you drink down the hit points, you get stronger! One of the things we wanted create is something very bespoke, so the bottle’s beautiful. You’re getting a story; an entire unboxing experience,” Lillard said
