Tarak Milk Distillery

Tarak 40

타락40

Tarak 40 is one of Korea's most unconventional spirits: a 40% ABV soju distilled entirely from domestic milk, produced in Gyeonggi-do. The concept sounds improbable, but the execution is clean — the distillation strips away heavy dairy sweetness, leaving a spirit that reads smooth, neutral, and surprisingly refined. At 200ml, it is the smallest bottle in this collection, positioned as a tasting experience rather than a session pour. The milk origin manifests not as cream or lactose but as an unusually silky texture and a faint, rounded softness on the mid-palate. It is a conversation piece with genuine craft credentials, appealing to adventurous drinkers who want to explore the outer boundaries of Korean distillation.
