Video Game-Themed Whiskeys

These Final Fantasy XIV Whiskeys Pay Homage to the Franchise

— September 1, 2023 — Lifestyle
These Final Fantasy XIV whiskeys have been created by the Nagahama Roman Beer Company in Japan to provide avid fans of the video game franchise with a way to celebrate its anniversary.

The whiskeys pay homage to the 10th anniversary of the game's release and come in three varieties to choose from. This includes the Final Fantasy XIV Amahagan Edition Ul’dah, Gridania and the Limsa Lominsa, which each get their name from the starting cities where players begin their adventure in the game. Each of the spirits are specially branded with their respective imagery and come in a box to further accentuate the fantasy.

The Final Fantasy XIV whiskeys are priced at 8,000 yen each and are slated to arrive in Japan starting October 10, 2023.
