Find Familiar Spirits, the fandom-centric company celebrated for its acclaimed Quest’s End Whiskey, has announced the imminent release of Monk, its first-ever cask strength offering. This ultra-premium expression delivers a bold, high-proof sipping experience and a rich, complex flavor profile. It also includes the highly anticipated next chapter of the brand’s original fantasy saga.
The special-edition whiskey is a must-have holiday gift for discerning gamers, horror fans, and whiskey collectors. And it’s launching just ahead of the holiday rush.
Monk marks a significant milestone for the Quest’s End brand as its inaugural cask-strength release, offering an unadulterated, immersive flavor profile. The bottle’s release is timed just ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The brand’s philosophy, according to Quest’s End’s Master Blender Molly Troupe, is clear: “Quest’s End has always been about making spirits that are as authentic to the story and the character as they are to the art of distilling. Since the monk in our story channels volcanic energy and has such purity in his devotion, we decided that a pure, fiery, cask strength super-premium whiskey would be a perfect fit.”
This new whiskey, Monk, is designed to be exceptionally rich, layered, and powerful. It reflects the fiery devotion of its namesake character:
- Nose: It is warm and inviting, offering dominant notes of black cherry, toasted barley, and sun-kissed orange.
- Palate: Despite its high ABV, it remains “delightfully warm and seductive,” enveloping the senses with flavors of vanilla, freshly baked granola, and plum.
- Finish: As a cask strength whiskey, Monk is both highly aromatic and packs a powerful punch.
The bottle comes with a new chapter of the original saga, Dawn of the Unbound Gods. Fantasy fiction powerhouse Andrea Stewart is penning this latest chapter and the remainder of the Season Two storyline.
The cover and bottle art were brought to life by Tyler Jacobson. His iconic work has graced the covers of numerous Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering books.
Find Familiar Spirits was founded in 2022 by actor Matthew Lillard, screenwriter/producer Justin Ware, and Blue Run Spirits co-founder Tim Sparapani. The company is dedicated to providing passionate genre enthusiasts with spirits that genuinely reflect the worlds they love.
