Joke

Description

Nongdam is a 16% ABV traditional drink from Gangwon-do, produced by Durumi Brewery using Cheorwon Odae rice (a premium non-glutinous variety from the DMZ border region), rice and wheat koji, domestic chrysanthemum, and yeast. The chrysanthemum addition is the distinguishing element: it threads a delicate floral note through the grain-rich body without overpowering the rice foundation. At 16%, this is a weighty, contemplative pour rather than a casual session drink, with the Cheorwon Odae rice providing a firm, structured backbone that carries the chrysanthemum aromatics through a long finish.
