Neurinmaeul Distilled Spirit

Description

Neurinmaeul Distilled Spirit is a 16.9% ABV soju from Gyeonggi-do, made from domestic rice. At under 17%, this is one of the gentlest distilled sojus on the market, proving that low proof need not mean low identity. The Neurinmaeul (Slow Village) name signals the philosophy: unhurried brewing that prioritizes character over strength. The nose is subtle and clean — gentle steamed rice, a faint yeasty note, and a delicate floral quality that floats rather than asserts. On the palate, the body is light with an almost water-like transparency, yet the rice character comes through clearly: a soft, clean grain sweetness, polished and refined, with none of the harsh edges that plague low-quality diluted sojus. There is a barely perceptible umami depth and a gentle warmth that reminds you this is, indeed, a distilled spirit. The texture is smooth and effortless. The finish is short and clean, with a whisper of rice sweetness that disappears without lingering. The 360ml bottle is an everyday companion. Serve chilled or at room temperature with virtually any Korean meal — its gentleness makes it universally compatible, from fried foods to fresh salads to delicate soups.
