Baeksuhwan Dongju

Description

Baeksuhwandongju is a 12% ABV makgeolli from Bostteul Brewery in Gyeonggi-do, built on a minimalist recipe of rice, water, and nuruk with no additional flavorings or sweeteners. The elevated ABV delivers a richer mouthfeel and fuller grain sweetness than standard table makgeolli, while the absence of supplementary ingredients means every nuance comes directly from fermentation. The 375ml bottle format suggests a contemplative pour rather than casual session drinking. Despite its simplicity, the texture stays smooth and rounded through the finish, demonstrating how far disciplined fermentation can take three basic ingredients.
