Baegiju

백이주

ABV 35%
Volume 800ml

Description

Baekiju is a 35% ABV cheongju from Gyeongsangbuk-do that combines Korean rice with red garlic extract and licorice, producing a spirit where grain sweetness, herbal warmth, and a dry finish unfold in deliberate layers. The red garlic adds a savory depth rarely found in clear rice wines, while licorice rounds the edges without introducing overt sweetness. At 800ml, the bottle is generous for a high-proof traditional spirit, and its structured complexity holds up well against bold, multi-course Korean meals.
