Bull elk in the Montana wilderness — the true Mountain Monarch

The True Mountain Monarch

The Spirit of Montana

Born Where the
Elk Bugle.

High in the Highland Mountains above Butte, the bull elk reigns supreme — powerful, untamed, and unmistakably Montana. He is the Mountain Monarch. Our name, our standard, our spirit.

These spirits are crafted for the hunters who rise before dawn, the backcountry riders who push past the ridge, and everyone who finds their church in the timber and their peace in the high country. This is a drink for the wild at heart.

For Those Who Live Outside

A Spirit as Wild as Montana.

Whether you're glassing a ridge at first light, packing out after a hard week in the backcountry, or gathered around the fire swapping stories — Mountain Monarch belongs in your hand. Crafted with the same grit and respect for the land that drives every hunter, angler, and mountain wanderer in Big Sky Country.

For the Hunter

You know what it means to earn it. The pre-dawn alarm, the miles on your boots, the patience of a long sit. Mountain Monarch is the pour you've earned at the end of a hard day in the field.

For the Adventurer

Montana doesn't reward the timid. Neither do we. Our spirits are built for people who push into the backcountry, ride the high ridges, and find their peace where the cell signal dies.

For the Veteran

We are veterans. We built this for our brothers and sisters who served — and for every American who understands what it means to give everything for something bigger than yourself.

"The same discipline that kept us alive in the field goes into every barrel we fill."

Mountain Monarch was founded by veterans of the 10th Mountain Division, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and the United States Navy — men who served this country and came home to build something worthy of it.
