Bourbon, Whiskey, and Scotch Menu | The Monarch

straight bourbon

Bourbon is America’s Native Spirit and as such can only be distilled in the U.S. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which lends a sweetness to the drink, while a mixture of malted barley and either rye or wheat round out the flavor profile.

Therefore, with big and bold flavors, bourbon is perfect for sipping neat or as a mixer.

whiskey

With more than 225 bottles of whiskey, we have something for every palate. From classic Kentucky Bourbon to modern American Single Malt Whiskey and Rye, you will find an eclectic selection of the finest spirits distilled today.

TENNESSEE WHISKEY

Tennessee Whiskey could legally be defined as bourbon, checking all of the boxes the latter must meet.

Tennesseans are proud of their state's spirit which adds a charcoal filtering process to the distillate before being aged in new oak barrels. So, it is claimed that this mellows the final product.

Rye Whiskey

Rye whiskey is, by law, made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye. This creates a “spicier” flavor profile that has been the backbone of cocktails like the Sazerac.

Meanwhile, we are in the middle of a Rye renaissance with distilleries such as High West and Whistlepig who have cult-like followings.

scotch

Every Scotch must mature in the country for at least three years and one day, using oak casks. For example, there are varying styles, some are flavored heavily by peat smoke, while others are light and fruity.

Coastal whiskies are often flavored by the sea and a refined salinity can be found.
