Description

Jinsim Red Ginseng Liquor is produced in Jeollabuk-do by Nongtaepyeong Brewing in two expressions - 38% and 19% ABV - both built on domestic rice infused with jicho root (Lithospermum erythrorhizon). Despite its name referencing red ginseng, the ingredient list centers on jicho, which contributes a deep herbal profile with earthy spice and subtle bitterness. The 38% version won the top honor at the 2011 Korea Traditional Liquor Awards in the general distilled spirit category and followed up with an encouragement award in 2012, demonstrating consistent recognition across vintages. The dual-strength offering allows drinkers to choose between a contemplative, spirit-forward experience (38%) and a more approachable, food-friendly session (19%).
