두루양조
Duru Brewery in Hongcheon, Gangwon, creates modern craft spirits including dragon-themed varieties.
홀리 엠
Holy M is a 37% ABV soju from Gangwon-do, produced by Duru Brewing using omija (schisandra) syrup, purified water, and distilled spirit (jujung). Omija — the "five-flavor berry" — brings its signature complex taste profile of sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and pungent to a high-proof distilled base, creating a spirit that is brighter and more aromatically expressive than conventional soju. The omija syrup softens the alcohol's edge while adding genuine fruit depth rather than artificial flavoring. At 375ml and 37%, it sits in premium sipping territory, offering a modern, approachable entry point into Korean spirits for those unfamiliar with traditional styles.

용24
Yong 24 is a 24% ABV spirit from Gangwon-do, brewed from rice with magamok (rowan berry) fruit, guk starter, and yeast. Rowan berry is an uncommon ingredient in Korean spirits, and it gives Yong 24 a distinctive signature — gentle fruit nuance woven into clean rice structure, creating a profile that feels both traditional and subtly wild. The berry does not dominate but rather adds depth and a quiet aromatic layer beneath the grain. At 375ml and moderate-high proof, it pairs beautifully with banchan-heavy Korean tables and charcoal-grilled meats.
