Korean Soju
Maximo 40
막시모 40
Maksimo 40 is a 40% ABV omija (Schisandra chinensis) spirit from Gyeongsangbuk-do, built from domestic omija distillate blended with omija extract and purified water. Omija, literally meaning five-flavor berry, is one of the most complex natural ingredients in Korean gastronomy — delivering sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent sensations simultaneously. Concentrating this into a 40% distillate produces a spirit with an aromatic intensity that few grain-based sojus can match. The nose is immediately striking — bright red berry, dried rose hip, a sharp citrus-like tartness, and a warm, almost medicinal herbal depth that signals the fruit's complexity. On the palate, the body is medium with a lively, textured mouthfeel. The five-flavor interplay is genuinely present: an initial sweet-sour burst, followed by a bitter-pungent mid-palate that adds grip, and a faint mineral salinity that threads through the background. The distillate provides structure while the extract preserves the fruit's fresh aromatic identity. The finish is long and multidimensional, with persistent berry tartness, warm spice, and a clean herbal tail. The 500ml bottle is generous for a specialty spirit. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature, alongside Korean herbal cuisine, with cheese plates where the tartness cuts richness, or as a digestif after heavy meals where the five-flavor complexity aids palate reset.

Korean Soju
Yecheon Jubok Manwol 40
예천주복 만월40
Yecheonjubok Manwol 40 is a 40% ABV raspberry spirit from Gyeongsangbuk-do, crafted from bokbunja (Korean black raspberry) distillate blended with bokbunja juice and purified water. The dual use of bokbunja — both as distillate and as fresh juice — creates a layered fruit profile where the distilled character provides structure and the juice preserves fresh aromatic intensity. Bokbunja is one of Korea's signature wild-harvested berries, traditionally valued for its deep purple color and complex berry flavor. The nose is immediately captivating — concentrated dark raspberry, cassis, dried berry jam, and a warm, slightly floral sweetness. On the palate, the body is medium with a smooth, rounded texture. The bokbunja character dominates in the best possible way — a deep, concentrated berry sweetness that feels natural and berry-true rather than artificial. The distillate backbone provides clean structural warmth at 40% without overpowering the fruit. The juice component adds a fresh, juicy quality that keeps the profile from feeling dried-out or one-dimensional. A subtle tannic grip from the berry skins adds structure. The finish is long and warming, with persistent dark-raspberry concentration and a clean, dry close. The 350ml bottle is sized for special occasions. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature, alongside dark chocolate desserts where the berry richness amplifies cocoa, with aged blue cheese, or as a standalone dessert pour where the concentrated bokbunja character provides its own complete experience.

Manwol 24/40
만월 24/40
Manwol 24/40 is a 24% ABV soju from Gyeongsangbuk-do, produced by Chakhan Nongbu Brewery using sugarcane distillate (dansuseu) and bokbunja (black raspberry) juice. The sugarcane base provides a clean, sharp foundation that differs from conventional rice soju, while bokbunja juice adds a quiet berry undertone that surfaces as fragrance rather than overt fruitiness. At 360ml and 24%, it occupies a mid-weight sipping position — defined enough for neat drinking, yet gentle enough to pair comfortably with grilled meats, braised pork, and raw fish.
