Description
Donggang Deodeokju is a 20% ABV herbal fruit wine from Gangwon-do produced by Yeongwol Deodeok Brewery, built around deodeok (Codonopsis lanceolata) root and layered with jujube-goji berry, licorice (gamcho), and wonji (Polygala tenuifolia) root. The deodeok leads with a savory, slightly bitter mountain-herb profile, while the jujube-goji adds a reddish sweetness and the licorice smooths the herbal edges. Wonji - traditionally used in Korean medicine for its calming properties - contributes a quiet, woody undertone. It earned an Excellence Award at the 2012 Korea Traditional Liquor Awards in the liqueur category, affirming its medicinal-herb approach to craft alcohol.
