Hottang

Description

Hottang is a 6% ABV makgeolli from Gyeongsangbuk-do that blends domestic peanuts with synthetic flavor compounds — walnut, soymilk, and coffee-peanut flavoring — into a rice-and-wheat fermentation base. The result is a novelty makgeolli where nutty aromatics dominate the experience from the first pour, giving it an almost snack-like identity. Despite the playful concept, the rice and wheat koji underneath maintain recognizable fermentation character, and stevia keeps the sweetness controlled rather than syrupy. At 750ml, it is a conversation-starter bottle best matched with crispy jeon or fried late-night snacks where the nutty profile creates an echo effect with oil-fried textures.
