MONARCH 25 is a psychological thriller set inside the world’s most prestigious whiskey empire.
Following the mysterious death of the founder of Monarch Distillery, five wealthy investors are invited to the isolated estate for an exclusive tasting of Monarch 25 — a legendary whiskey aged for twenty-five years and never before released to the public.
Believing they are there to negotiate ownership of the distillery, the guests are welcomed by the founder’s estranged son, who claims he is finally ready to sell the family empire.
But the invitation is a trap.
Still haunted by his father’s unsolved murder, the son secretly suspects that one of the five guests was responsible. As the night unfolds, he begins manipulating the group, turning the powerful buyers against one another in a psychological game fueled by greed, paranoia, and buried secrets.
What begins as a luxury gathering slowly descends into suspicion, violence, and psychological terror — as everyone realizes the real purpose of the evening may not be business, but revenge.
