Description

Baekun Juga in Okryong-myeon, Gwangyang (South Jeolla) makes this 7% makgeolli from rice and maesil (plum) juice and bottles it at 750ml. The plums are grown in Gwangyang and the brew is fermented slowly at low temperature. The brewery first made it in March 2008, and it won the top prize in the pasteurized makgeolli category of the Namdo traditional liquor competition every year from 2011 to 2014. The aT traditional liquor portal describes it as ivory in color with aromas of fruit skin and grain, and notes that despite the plum it has little acidity.
