Daemongjae 1779 Fresh Makgeolli 12

대몽재 1779 생막걸리 12

Daemongjae 1779 Fresh Makgeolli 12 is a 12% ABV makgeolli from Gyeongsangbuk-do, produced by Gyeongju Gyochon Doga using only rice, nuruk, and purified water. The three-ingredient purity is deliberate — it forces the fermentation itself to carry all the flavor, with no sweeteners, enzymes, or acidity regulators to steer the profile. The result is a makgeolli where traditional nuruk depth shows clearly: creamy body with a fermented earthiness that keeps the sweetness grounded and honest. At 750ml, it is a generous bottle for communal drinking alongside hot jeon, spicy stews, or pungent kimchi preparations where the cooling, rounded texture provides natural relief from heat and sharpness.
