Description
Seoul Jangsu's facility in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do creates this distinctive 6% makgeolli by blending white rice fermentation with red ginseng (hongsam) powder - a pairing that earned the top prize at the 2016 Korea Traditional Liquor Quality Awards (sterilized makgeolli category). The aroma opens with earthy ginseng root, warm honey, and a background of soft rice cream. On the palate, the body is medium and creamy with a sweet front that transitions into a gentle bitter-herbal mid-palate from the red ginseng. The finish is warming and lightly medicinal in the best sense, with lingering ginseng root depth. Serve at 8-10°C. Pairs beautifully with samgyetang ginseng chicken soup for a thematic double-ginseng experience, or with rich eel-gui where the warming ginseng note complements the fatty fish.
