Sandkheg’s Hide: a bourbon fit for a fantasy world

The story behind Sandkheg’s Hide is steeped in fantasy. According to the lore of Vox Machina, Campaign 1, Sandkheg’s Hide was a fierce alcoholic beverage produced in the deserts of Marquet from the acidic bile of a sandkheg, an 8-foot tall insectoid creature. The label and packaging of the bourbon evoke this fantasy world, complete with a coin tied around the neck in a burlap bag and a “found” journal that tells the backstory of the whiskey.
