Last year, Find Familiar Spirits teamed up with Critical Role for a D&D-inspired bourbon called Sandkheb’s Hide.
This year, though, Critical Role turns 10, and so with actor-gamer Matthew Lillard’s company for a limited edition American whiskey called Whitestone Courage.
It can’t be a whisky unless it’s made in Scotland, but this single malt will be limited to 10,000 bottles and comes with Reflections on Adventure. That’s a journal with interviews with Critical Role. There’s also an exclusive enamel pin.
Critical Role fans will recognise the name. In Exandrian lore, the de Rolo family distil four spirits at Whitestone, and Courage is one of them.
The in-game drink is well named as fetching the wood required from the barrels means a trip to the dangerous Parchwood Timberlands.
The tasting notes say;
Whitestone Courage offers notes of buttery biscuit, rich toffee, and a whisper of smoke. Its smooth, velvety texture is the result of careful aging in both charred oak and tempranillo casks, lending depth and a hint of maple bacon.
