Dogasjip Makgeolli

Description

Dogasjip Makgeolli is a 6% ABV makgeolli from Jeollanam-do, brewed with domestic rice, nuruk, yeast, and corn syrup, with acesulfame potassium adjusting the sweetness profile. The texture is creamy and full, with a grain-driven depth that gives a more substantial mouthfeel than the modest ABV might suggest. The sweet edge is deliberate — it makes the makgeolli immediately approachable and pairs naturally with dishes that carry heat, salt, or oil. Samho Distillery, the producer, crafts this as a straightforward table makgeolli for lively, everyday meals. At 750ml, the bottle sits comfortably on a table shared between two or three drinkers enjoying jeon, fried chicken, or kimchi.
