Description

Hayan Lotus Baekryeonmalkeun Sul is a 12% ABV cheongju from Sinpyeong Brewery in Chungcheongnam-do, built on Korean rice with white lotus leaf (baekryeonip) as the botanical accent. The lotus leaf introduction is subtle but structurally important - it adds a clean, aquatic-herbaceous tone that prevents the rice base from settling into monotony. The nose carries steamed rice and a cool, green lotus-pad fragrance, almost like morning dew on leaves. On the palate, the body is medium-light with a polished, fluid texture. The rice sweetness is gentle and the lotus leaf threads through as a persistent green freshness that keeps each sip feeling renewed. The finish is moderate and clean, with a faint vegetal dryness. The brewery holds a Food Master certification and was designated a 2013 Visiting Brewery; the same year, it received an Encouragement Award at the Korea Traditional Liquor Awards in the yakcheongju category. Serve at 8-11°C with hoe where the lotus's aquatic quality resonates with the sea, alongside grilled fish where the herbal lift cuts through oils, or in a formal hanjeongsik setting where its quiet sophistication matches the pace of courses.
