Bukgeukgom Makgeolli

Description

Bukgeukgom Makgeolli (Polar Bear Makgeolli) is a 6% ABV makgeolli from Donghaemyeongju Brewery in Gyeongsangbuk-do, brewed with Pohang-grown organic rice as its grain foundation. The addition of syrup and modern sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame potassium) creates a candy-like softness that tilts the profile toward approachable sweetness rather than fermentation complexity. Lactic acid adjusts acidity, and refined enzymes alongside the koji culture manage fermentation. At 750ml, it is a crowd-friendly bottle designed for drinkers who prefer a sweeter, less funky makgeolli experience while still getting the creamy grain texture that defines the category.
