Han Yeongseok's Fermentation Lab

Han Yeong-seok Hayangju

한영석 하향주

Han Yeong-seok Hayangju is a 13.8% ABV aromatic fermented alcohol from Jeollabuk-do, crafted by the Han Yeong-seok Fermentation Lab using glutinous rice and the brewer's proprietary nuruk (hyangmijuguk, an aromatic brewing mold). This custom nuruk is the defining element — it produces a layered, fragrant profile that lifts the spirit well beyond typical rice fermentations. The 375ml bottle delivers a composed drinking experience: fragrant up front, balanced through the mid-palate, and softly savory on the finish. The moderate ABV places it comfortably alongside multi-dish Korean meals where layered flavors are appreciated.
