Ilyeop Pyeonju

Description

Ilyeop Pyeonju (15% expression) is a 15% ABV traditional Korean alcohol from Nongamjongtaek Brewery in Gyeongsangbuk-do, a higher-strength counterpart to the brewery's 12% version. The same dual-rice composition of glutinous and non-glutinous Korean rice with wheat-containing nuruk is used, but the additional three percentage points of alcohol bring noticeably more body, concentration, and grain depth. The 375ml bottle suggests a more focused, sipping-oriented format. Rather than announcing itself with bold aromatics, this expression delivers measured texture and persistent grain sweetness that unfolds gradually. It remains a versatile table companion, particularly strong alongside charcoal-grilled dishes and varied banchan.
