Description

Geumsan Ginseng Baekju is a 43% ABV distilled spirit from Chungcheongnam-do, composed of 95.8% domestic rice and 4.2% domestic ginseng - a precise ratio that places ginseng as an accent rather than a dominant flavor. Crafted by Korean Food Master No. 2 Kim Chang-su and designated Chungcheongnam-do Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 19, it draws on Geumsan's reputation as Korea's premier ginseng-producing region. The spirit's clarity is notable: despite the root infusion, the profile reads as refined cheongju-style transparency rather than heavy herbal extract. This restraint allows the ginseng's gentle warmth and subtle bitterness to surface gradually rather than arriving all at once.
