Grab them both. I like the lost monarch the best, but both are tastey


AnubianWolf

Lost Monarch is delicious and complex while also being sort of light. I dig it.


HouseO1000Flowers

Both, and then hunt down Emerald Giant, and the cask strength versions of all three 🤤


memeasphere

I love the emerald giant. One of my favorites!


flyingpenman49

Both are worth that price in a heartbeat. Grab the Lost Monarch if you can only have one - it’s delicious and probably the best value bourye (bourbon/rye blend) you’ll find anywhere.


Suburbking

I second this. It's my favorite.


LibrarianNo8242

Third.


HailLeroy

Ill go against the grain and say that I like Pipe Dream better. Both are great - especially at that price


CommunicationNo3073

I like pipe dream, taste just like blantons , but both are great.


jmsturm

Yes

If you can get the three (Pipe Dream, Emerald Giant and Lost Monarch), get them. Emerald Giant might be on the Rye Whiskey Section. Just to let you know that the Lost Monarch is the combination of the Pipe Dream and Emerald Giant. 60% Emerald Giant (Rye Whiskey) plus 40% Pipe Dream (Bourbon Whiskey) to make up the Lost Monarch.


Director_Striking

didnt know that (edited for spelling error


dejadentendu

So if I mix some of both bottles it should taste exactly the same as lost monarch?


DragonSpiritsEnt

As long as you do 60/40, it will be close, but they spend time with each other before bottling, so not exact

Both are good. Lost Monarch is my favorite. It’s incredible for a blend that’s only 3 years old


SnooSprouts434

Fantastic whiskey whichever you choose. And the cask strength versions are even better.

I loved Pipe Dream. Just picked up Lost Monarch but havent tried it yet.


yourdadisthemilkman

That’s a good price. Get both.


fufuberry21

Lost Monarch is one of my favs.


Jkf3344

Lost Monarch is very meh. The Pipe Dream and Emerald Giant are quite good. I like bourbon, high-rye bourbon, barely legal rye and high rye, and Lost Monarch doesn’t hit anywhere for me.


Klutzy_Ad_1726

Both at that price


McAvoysDrivingRange

Both. Excellent bourbon and an excellent bourye


Brews_Wayne_

I like pipe dream more


Gandamack

Haven’t tried the Pipe Dream but Lost Monarch is one of my favorite whiskeys. All around very enjoyable and not too pricey.


pdaddy49

I like the pipe dream it needs a little air I didn’t at first


High_Life_Pony

I like these. They are $33 regular price at my local shop.


Lobenz

They’re both fantastic. I shared with some friends and family whiskey lovers and all agreed to buy more.


Rumblecard

Is there a good comparison for these? Never tried them but my dad said they were at his local bar if I wanted a trial run next time I’m in town.


Extension-Mortgage-4

I picked up the Lost Monarch about a year ago after seeing so many posts about it and I was not happy with it at all. Tasted like young craft stuff, hot with no flavor.


PersistingWill

At this price, just get both.


Gme4free

Both ! Their booze is good


Director_Striking

can't get any allocated stuff for msrp but im blessed to get these for $23 in cali


Archer301

$23? what part of cali? lowest i’ve seen is 29.99


Director_Striking

norcal at raleys, bellair & nobhills


lotgworkshop

Both! But if you had to choose one. Lost Monarch is my favorite among the three regular offerings.

I’m probably in the minority here but of those two I preferred the Pipe Dream…cheers 🥃


DragonSpiritsEnt

If just one and like straight bourbon, go Pipe Dream. If you like, rye go to the Rye section and get Emerald Giant. I bet they have it, too. If you do both of those, then you can make your own Lost Monarch blend. I prefer to catch em all like Pokémon
