Cheonghon Red 25 Soju

Description

Cheonghon Red 25 is a 25% ABV soju from J&J Brewery in Gyeonggi-do, distilled from a blend of Yongin Baekok rice and local barley with wheat nuruk. The dual-grain base gives the spirit a layered grain character — the rice contributes clean sweetness while the barley adds a toasted, slightly savory dimension that single-grain sojus typically lack. At 25% ABV, it is firm enough for neat sipping but stays smooth and approachable, with a dry, tidy finish that avoids lingering sweetness or burn. The 375ml bottle suits focused pairing sessions with galbi, bossam, or sashimi where the spirit needs structural presence without heavy oak or sugar. This is a soju that demonstrates how grain selection can shape personality in a distillate.
