Bukhangang 25

Description

Bukhangang25 is a 25% ABV spirit from Hwacheon in Gangwon-do that pushes the boundaries of rice-based traditional brewing into high-proof territory. Named after the Bukhan River (Bukhangang) flowing through the region, it uses Hwacheon-grown rice, domestic nuruk, and indigenous yeast strains. Despite the elevated alcohol level, the spirit retains a surprisingly creamy core — a textural quality more commonly found in low-ABV makgeolli. The concentrated grain sweetness and warming finish make it a distinctive bridge between rice wine and distilled soju, occupying a niche that few Korean traditional beverages attempt. Packaged in a 375ml bottle, it is meant for measured pouring and contemplative sipping.
