Banana Liquor

Description

Banana Ju is a 4% ABV flavored traditional drink from Chungcheongbuk-do, produced by Joeunsul Sejong Brewery on a rice-and-nuruk fermentation base with banana concentrate added for a tropical aromatic twist. Maltose syrup (mulyeot) contributes a smooth, rounded texture that softens the banana's fruity sharpness into a creamy, dessert-like impression. At just 4%, it occupies the lightest end of the Korean traditional alcohol spectrum, making it more of a casual flavored refreshment than a contemplative sipping drink. The nuruk and yeast fermentation underneath prevent the banana note from feeling purely artificial, grounding it with mild grain tang.
