Korean Soju
Yecheonju Sawol 365
예천주 사월365
Yecheonju Sawol365 is a 36.5% ABV distilled spirit from Gyeongsangbuk-do, built around Korean omija (Schisandra chinensis) in dual form: distilled omija spirit and dried-omija extract. This double-extraction approach captures both the volatile aromatic compounds released during distillation and the deeper, more complex flavors drawn from the dried berries. Omija's signature five-taste profile — sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent — gives this spirit a layered complexity that few single-ingredient spirits can match. The nose opens with bright, almost electric berry tartness, dried red currant, and a clean herbal undertone. On the palate, the body is medium with a polished texture. The 36.5% ABV delivers controlled warmth, and the omija character unfolds in stages: initial tartness, then sweetness, then a subtle peppery pungency that keeps the palate engaged. The finish is moderately long, clean, and aromatic, with lingering omija berry character. Bottled at 375ml. Serve neat at room temperature to appreciate the five-taste complexity, or slightly chilled; pairs well with rich grilled meats (galbi) where the spirit's tartness cuts fat, bossam, and sashimi.

Yecheonju Sawol 24
예천주 사월24
Yecheonju Sawol24 is a 24% ABV distilled spirit from Gyeongsangbuk-do, sharing the same Korean omija foundation as its higher-proof sibling Sawol365 — distilled omija spirit blended with dried-omija extract. The lower ABV creates a softer, more relaxed expression that makes the omija character more immediately approachable without sacrificing complexity. Where Sawol365 demands attention, Sawol24 invites casual exploration. The nose is gentle yet vivid — bright berry tartness, a touch of dried cranberry, and a clean floral note. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a smooth, easy-flowing texture. The omija's five-taste complexity is present but expressed more quietly: the tartness is gentler, the sweetness more forward, and the peppery finish softer. This makes it particularly versatile at the dinner table, where it can accompany a broader range of dishes without overpowering. The finish is moderate, clean, and leaves a pleasant omija berry warmth. Bottled at 375ml. Serve slightly chilled at 10-14°C as a versatile mealtime spirit, with grilled meats, bossam, and raw fish where the soft omija acidity cleanses without sharpness.

Korean Soju
Good Farmer Maximo 17
착한농부 막시모 17
Good Farmer Maximo 17 is a 17% ABV soju from Gyeongsangbuk-do that takes a distinctive approach by using domestic sugarcane distillate as its primary base instead of rice. Korean omija (five-flavor berry) extract adds a bright, red-fruit tang to the spirit, while synthetic berry and bokbunja (black raspberry) aromatics round out the nose. A touch of caramel softens the overall presentation, creating a fragrant, easy-drinking style that differs markedly from grain-forward sojus. The 360ml bottle at 17% positions it as an accessible entry point for exploring flavored Korean spirits.

Good Farmer Maximo 25
착한농부 막시모 25
Good Farmer Maximo 25 is a 25% ABV soju from Gyeongsangbuk-do that deepens the sugarcane-and-omija identity established by the 17% expression. The higher alcohol level brings additional weight and a drier finish, concentrating the red-fruit aromatics from omija extract and berry-like synthetic flavorings. Caramel rounds the edges without adding excessive sweetness, and the overall impression is vivid yet composed. This step-up in strength makes Maximo 25 a better match for richly seasoned Korean dishes like galbi and bossam, where it can hold its ground against bold flavors.

Good Farmer Maximo Pine Oak 40
착한농부 막시모파인오크 40
Good Farmer Maximo Pine Oak 40 is a 40% ABV distilled soju from Gyeongsangbuk-do, representing the top-tier expression of the Maximo sugarcane spirit series. At this proof, the domestic sugarcane distillate delivers concentrated, intense character while omija extract provides a distinctly Korean botanical signature. Unlike the lower-proof siblings, this expression drops the added ethanol (jujung) and caramel, relying purely on sugarcane distillate and omija for its flavor. The 200ml bottle format suggests it is intended for contemplative sipping rather than casual pouring, and its firm structure pairs best with rich, fatty dishes that can match its intensity.
